  • but being pulled aside and being asked to kiss the ring felt disgusting.

    You are absolutely right here. It is a very shitty boss. They can happen everywhere, but still not all are like that one.

    I am an expert in my field, too, and I would have my way of withstanding such a guy. Not sure, however, if it is possible in Usa. I am in Germany.

    are there still companies that exist in the USA or outside that still give a fuck about what they’re doing and not just inflate that companies value

    There are. At least here. The work culture is much better in general (but very different between companies), because such single specimen of asshole bosses are not that powerful here. Firing somebody is a regulated process, and things can be reviewed later by independent people, in the company or in court.

    As long as companies are not that huge, they usually care better about what they are doing.


  • First: think hard, and read much, about who you are, who do you want to be, why is life itself the most important of all things, why are all humans created equal, and should you love basically all humans?

    This is the foundation. When you have found some answers, then this is going to change your life. Probably not in a day, rather during the next years.

    Second: learn about empathy and how to express it. There are methods. This will change very much how you are perceived by others as a loveable person.

    But do the first thing first, otherwise the second might not work and you become a bad case of cynic.



  • A single-furrow plow that was built so that it had to be pulled by a horse.

    We didn’t have a horse (it was about 50 years too late for that), but we did have a small tractor, and somehow hitched the thing to it. My father drove the tractor. And then I had to guide that plow with a very firm hand. We needed it to dig a drainage ditch on the already flooded plot. It was the only way to do that. Any other machines would have been too heavy on that wet ground. After a day of hard work with the feet deep in the water, it was done.
