What would you call a person who is willing to do almost anything to accomplish his or her goals and is persistent/aggressive to the extreme doesn't have much of a need for social status? What if this person wants self-satisfaction above all and doesn't care what anyone else thinks or believes?
Mtwe(Mzingu Mtwetwe)'s rationale is brutally simple
"Once we are buried six feet under the ground, in a week everyone will forget about us and that we ever existed on this planet. In our 80 years of existence(she is using averages), all most of the (then) 7.5 Billion people do is born, go to school, work their ass for 40 years, and retire at the expense of government funds. They eat up capital, natural, labor, human, and financial resources. For example, it takes 2,000 calories a day to feed a grown adult human. That is 730,000 calories a year which is then multipled by 7.5 Billion and that comes out 5,479,000,000,000,000 calories or nearly 5 and a half quadrillion. Obviously this takes up tremoundous capital, natural, labor, human and financial resources just to feed the population of the world and we have seen the consequences of previous administrations here in Malawi. What does this prove? People are never independent because they never accomplish their goals. First they rely on the parents, then they rely on their teachers, then they rely on their employers and then they rely on the government to run their lives. The brutal reality is if you don't do something yourself for yourself and get out of your parasitic mindset that the entire world is your minuscule one you will realize the truth and the brutal reality of it all. 7.2 Billion people will go to their graves once their lives are over, consuming the fruits of others for themselves, without ever giving anything back in return, wasting the potential of their lives and with a week those people will be wiped out of the collective memory of humankind in all 195 countries on all 7 continents".
That is her mentality, Mzingu Mtwetwe in a nutshell, harsh reality and that fear of failure and inadequeancy motives her to no end. To make my life worthwhile and meaningful and she says "within a week most people will forget about you", not of social status, but out of the brutal reality of wasted lives. For example, Mtwe's logic quiet honestly motivates me to some degree, because I think most auties would agree with her statements wholeheartedly and yes I am making generalizations but the reality for many Aspies is that if you don't do things yourself nobody will know you, much less understand you. Just look at Greentea for example.
Plus are you really go to waste your lives and consume all of those resources she mentions? And you wonder why there is an environmental crisis in the world?
