I Know You, You Know Me...

 I hear people complain all the time that

"In Korea it's all about who you know"

as if it's a bad thing.

What, you would rather live in a place 

where the people you know don't help you?

Is that really the better, fairer option?

Honestly, is it such a bad thing 

that they trust the person they have met 

over a piece of white paper out of nowhere?

It just makes more sense,

to choose what you know.

And honestly, 

if you don't have the skills 

to get the connections,

are you really the right person for the job?

And what makes you more qualified?

Why should you be picked 

over a person who has put in some time 

and to build the relationships?

It doesn't bother me that this country

helps people they know. 

The truth is, 

it's like this the world over. 

You think it isn't?  

Well then kiddo, 

you don't know the right people.
