Ohh, I never thought of it that way. I was actually planning to freewrite a poem before those guys kept me busy with long talks.

Reading with a calm head now, I realize I might have been harsh. The business itself isn't bad—they create drugs for different ailments, and distributors earn well. That part is fine.

The problem? They've turned it into a cult.

They recruit students, make us swear loyalty, and brainwash us into believing they're the only way to survive. They push us to chase money while slowly killing the dreams we once had—doctor, engineer, whatever. And the worst part? They tell you not to tell your parents. If your parents say no, do it behind their backs.

A good business shouldn't need all that.

Anyway, that's my rant. Thanks for the food for thought 😅

That does indeed sound unhealthy and more like a cult. Strangely enough, it also reminds me a little of American companies, the brainwashing and then that weird thing about not being allowed to tell your parents. For me, that would be a good reason to tell my parents, hahaha. They still have a lot to learn because if you tell people they can't do something when they can, if you think what you're doing is perfectly normal, you're not even going to make that comment, so I don't think it's very smart.
And how strange that you have to swear, I wouldn't do that at all. Even with my fingers crossed behind my back, I kept my mouth shut.

When you really have a dream, no one can kill it. Hold on to your dream, or you're vain, and see this as a stopover at most and study how people react and how they manipulate. When you view everything from a distance, as if it were one big play, which of course this nonsense is, it affects you less and you don't lose your mind or your dreams. Focus on what you do enjoy and the rest is a stopover. Try to find a healthier environment as soon as possible. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply, @wakeupkitty 💙

When one of them told me not to tell my parents, that was my signal to do exactly that 😂 I told them immediately, and they said to ignore those people at any cost. So I'm staying far away.

I've also decided to change my reading and drawing spots in school. Right now, most students have gone home for the holiday, so I've found a less disturbed place to stay in mechathronics lecture rooms. Home is good too—except for the electricity problems, as always 😅

But the good news? I'll be publishing another episode of Silent Hawk soon cos I'm done with episode 5!🎉😁

Thanks again for the encouragement. It really means a lot. 🙏❤️
