Why does it feel like douchebags get away with everything? And ‘good’ people are held back?

263 viewsOther

Lately I’ve caught myself falling into a doom spiral.
At work and on the news, everywhere it feels like assholes are getting their way.

People break rules and traditions, but get no pushback. And people like myself can’t compete. Because if we poke a toe over the line, we get reprimanded.

Is this just a bias in my mind? Am I seeing only the negatives for some reason?

And if so? Why?
