I have honestly come to the realization that I am doomed to live a life of mediocrity, a life of democratic failure; here's why:
I do not believe a family business can succeed if there is too much democracy. Things simply do not get done because instructions cannot be given and carried out. How do get the wife to go to the post office or do the shopping rounds when her attitude is "F you, do it yourself because this is a democracy". You know that you have to spend a lot of time running around on tasks that need to be done but do not require you to do them. How do you explain to the wife that you have to spend a couple of days at the computer drawing or whatever so as to get an important task finished when her attitude is "this is a 50/50 relationship and you have to do you share of the running around chores"
I suppose you will think that I am sexist or self centred, it might be true but the problem is that things simply don't get done unless I do them myself, that democracy is the root of many problems within a business because when people are able to tell you to f-off and do things yourself then you are simply unable to steer a ship, yet they are unwilling to steer the ship themselves.
What is the bottom line; f...cked if you do and f..cked if you don't...
I accept that my lot in life is simply to live a mediocre democratic life of going "I'm not even going to ask you to do anything because I know that in a democratic environment I will get to do it myself anyway, where the only politically correct answer is "yes dear, whatever you say..." and the thought process that goes along with it is "f..ck it...its not worth the fight...if it gets done it does and if it doesn't then it is what it is"
I think that women burned the bra and gained equality, women are now able to stand up for themselves and tell men to f-off. I think that it is sad in some ways, I think that men do enjoy truly feminine women who wear dresses and are still girls at heart. But in a world of democratic equality that no longer exists, we are now equal and the female thought process is now "I do what I want and you are simply the ahole that I live with" "I do not look up to you in anyway because we are equal" I would love cherish and care for another person who looks up to me in some way but we lose our souls somewhere along the married line, I think it happens when one eventually realizes that the only correct answer is "yes dear" and you simply wipe the question, answer and idea from your mind so as to retain the democratic status quo, when keeping the peace becomes more important than anything else. Is this what married life and partnership is about? maybe, it is sad though....
This in't a rant or attack or anything, it is merely a train of thought that's been rummaging around my mind for a long time....
