Why Did We Build a System Like This? A Tough-Love Reality Check with Wisdom, Humor, and a Spark for Dreamer





“Systems should lift us up, not trip us up. So who put the banana peel in front of the finish line?”

Hello, Roy here. Let me tell you straight: leadership is walking alongside people, not towering above them. Ever since I was a kid watching that tiny black-and-white TV, I couldn’t understand how so many good, hard-working folks were stuck out of work and struggling, while some guy in charge was supposed to fix it all. Now that I’m grown, I see the truth plain as day—the system isn’t built for us. It doesn’t have our best interests at heart.

If you tried to invent something more complicated, you’d need a committee of confused cats, a half-working whiteboard, and three government agencies competing to make your life harder. Taking care of retirement? Better have more passwords than a spy movie, a third cousin’s accountant on speed dial, and maybe a psychic hotline just to track your Social Security. After decades of sweat and sacrifice, shouldn’t we simply get what we earned without this circus?

The hard truth? Somewhere along the way, we stopped building systems for the people who live real lives and started designing systems for “them.” You know “them”—the folks who think every form should come loaded with riddles, fine print, and a secret handshake. People don’t want “maybe” promises—they want concrete things they can count on:

Food on the table

Doctors who see us, not just our paperwork

A warm, safe roof over our heads (not cardboard tents and empty hope)

They say money can’t buy happiness. Hogwash! Good food makes me happy. A sturdy home makes me happy. Going to the dentist without feeling like Blackbeard after a storm? Priceless happiness. Money can buy security, health, and a little peace of mind—and that’s something to celebrate.

So why don’t our systems guarantee enough for everyone? Because they were built to protect the interests of the wealthy and powerful, not to serve the people. The truth is, wealth is created by website the labor, creativity, and spirit of the many. That means systems should be built on fairness, justice, and a genuine desire to lift all of us. Wealth isn’t a magic trick performed by a few—it’s the achievement of us all, and a just system more info rewards us accordingly.

Now, not everyone is an angel. Life’s full of brats, big shots, and buffet line cutters. But most of the struggles we see aren’t about bad attitudes; they’re about empty wallets. Parents can’t afford the doctor, so their kids survive on hot dogs and Cheetos—not for choice but because it’s all there is.

Think about this:

Can’t see in the dark? That’s a vitamin A deficiency.

Always tired and pale? Low iron.

Fragile bones and weak muscles? Missing calcium and protein.

Poor nutrition doesn’t just mean stomachs that grumble; it means minds that fog, bodies that weaken, and costs that skyrocket in healthcare. And what do we do? Hang motivational posters saying, “You can do it!” while the cafeteria serves donuts and empty promises.

Listen to any coach—my old track coach would say, “You can’t run fast on a donut!” Good sleep, great shoes, and real food cost money. Penny-pinching on people leaves the whole team limping behind. But invest in people, and watch them soar.

Real happiness isn’t just about surviving—it’s about having time for family, a job that lets you live, and fun that doesn’t break the bank. Life is short. Who’d settle for anything less?

Here’s the dream:
Imagine a world where every child wakes with a full belly and a big smile. Imagine seniors celebrating birthdays without fear of bills. Imagine communities where “enough” is the more info baseline, and “more” gets shared generously.

This isn’t fantasy. It starts with action:

Vote for leaders who walk with you, not over you.

Support programs that feed kids and help people see real doctors.

Build up your neighbors and co-workers—be the coach in their corner.

Stop waiting for a permit to hope—change begins when you step forward.

We’re one big family—the human family—and if we want to win at this game, we play as a team. When website someone tells you, “You can’t change the system,” flash a grin, lace your shoes, and say, “Watch me.”

Got an idea, story, or spark to share? Speak up. Together, one small spark at a time, we’ll light a fire that’ll warm the whole world.

Life’s a relay race. When your leg comes, hand off something worth running for.

Let’s build a system that’s just, fair, and made to serve us all—because we can, Roy Dawson Earth Angel Master Magical Healer and because we should.

With hope and heart,
