When the beast rears its head,
you chop it off. No hesitation,
no confusion, no mercy.
Compassion is very much
weakness in the real world.
While you're busy feeling bad
and worrying and trying to
'do the right thing,'
people whom you feel all
touchy-feely about are
planning your demise.
Wholesome and zen is great
in concept, but ineffective when
your competition is working
to remove you ....and stab you
in the back.
All's fair in Love and War,
and love's just an illusion;
Life is definitely war.
Give an inch, and you may
not get the chance to keep
playing the game.
