Whenever I see a post in the Rant section, my mind immediately associates with victimhood. What else could a rant possibly be?

Why would any of us care if our friend, step-brother, or other acquaintance does not make money using the fastlane? Why do we care that our direct relatives don't see it or get what we are trying to do? What real affect does that have on our lives? If it does have an affect, we should be looking at why.

What is the real reason that we care if someone is a sidewalker? How does it affect our lives if someone is going into debt for education, spending money on a car they can't afford, pinning all their hopes and dreams on a job supported by someone else?

Could it be that we are insecure? Could it be that misery loves company? Is it possible that we have not found our own way?

So many questions and not enough answers... Perhaps I should have placed this in the Rant category. :)
