Lose that Goddamned Fairy Tale Mentality

There is no such thing as a fair fight.


There are winners and losers, and no
real middle ground. And the world cares
nothing for losers.


The orchestrators of the concepts of
(ever-unattainable) Justice and Fairness--
the ideas of Possibility of retrieving a
sensible and balanced outcome from
defeats--they're the people who didn't
fight fair, now in a position to lie about 'how'
things work.


Because frustration and conflict and
constant disappointment knee-cap an
opponent better than any up-front assault
ever could!


Pretending that the world works based on
civility and good-heartedness and positive
thinking and philanthropy (when deviousness
is behind every profit and score)...it's brilliant!


The winners pretend that it was goodness
and respect and hard labor that created their
successful outcome. But pretense doesn't
recreate reality.


Don't let gullibility decide your fate.
See past the charade.
Choose well which path you take, based on
which outcome you wish to achieve.


*********************************

The Heart-- Like a Pecker-- is a Bad Lead to Follow

Seek a better balance between heart and mind!

Know your heart, but don't be ruled by it.

It's important to be informed about--
cognizant of-- emotions within, but to
refrain from being controlled by them.
And sugar-coating what you feel, attempting
to accommodate your sense of what is
'moral' doesn't help the processing.

Trying to maintain an attitude that is in
direct opposition to how things really are
can lead to cognitive dissonance!
Emotionally-led thinking, decisions made
with emotions, being swayed by conscience and
compassion are all paths to disaster.

Keep your emotions private--let others guess
what only you know.  Giving too much away
makes you vulnerable to the attacks of enemies--
and everyone who exists is a former enemy,
present enemy, or future enemy.

So that makes that easy to determine!
Exercise restraint and control to keep the
savages at bay.

There is great power in being an enigma
and constantly keeping them guessing.

Being a nice guy just isn't profitable.
*************************************************

Get It While It's HOT!

Get what you can,

while you can,

any which way you can.

Morality is subjective,

to say the least;

a construct of the rich

and powerful to keep

the rest of the world

poor, disaffected, and

powerless.

'Morals' are fickle, transmutative,

regional, cultural, and

ultimately pointless.

They're applied through

tinted lenses and double

standards.

Morality won't feed you

or clothe you or warm you;

it has no pay-off beyond

wishful thinking and avoiding fear

of karmic or religious or

legal retribution.

Don't get played.

Don't be a sucker.

Don't buy the line.

Do what you need to do;

it's all relative.

The only important thing

is not getting caught.

*****************************

Indefatigable

No one else can keep you down,
no one else can defeat you.

No one can keep you from playing,
enduring, and winning the game.
Only your lack of resolve, your weakness,
your doubt, your lack of dedication
can cause you to lose permanently.

Get tough.
Refuse others' dismissiveness.
Disregard their under-estimating.
Hold yourself in highest regard.
Be your own center of attention and command.
Be a juggernaut.
Learn savagery.
See through the bullshit.
Accept no one else's limitations.

Become fierce and relentless and
unapologetic and resourceful and
unstoppable. (Determination makes
anything possible.)Don't ask permission;
just take what you want.

It's survival of the fittest, and
you can become fit any time you choose.

Do you or don't you truly want to win?

Whatever it takes, Baby Cakes....

******************************************************

Denial Doesn't Change Results

No time for rest; Wake up and see the writing on the wall!

If you can't beat them,

join them

(or, claim their tactics,

at the least.)

Only a moron would

keep doing the same

thing repeatedly with no

change in outcome.

Don't deny the merits

of a winning strategy. If

it's one that gets results, no

matter how morally abhorrent

it may be to you, it's useful.

Worth investigating, at least.

Old mindsets of what is

'right' serve no purpose if

we're flailing and under the heel of

the oppressor. There's no reason

to maintain old 'standards' when

they fail to serve you.

Everything changes; choose to

be on the winning side of

evolution.

*****************************

Taking Care of Business

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.

***

Anyone's Prerogative

You can change your

mind, you know.

You have the ability.

You have the right.

You have permission.

If you find you need a

course correction

mid-stream, it's okay.

Our lives and choices

can be fluid--

like life itself--

 ever-changing,

though that is not 

what's presented.

Illusions of 'being stuck'

and mired exist to make

cowards feel less alone.

The world makes thoughts, lives,

and people seem black-and-white,

one-dimensional,

easily understood,

set-in-stone, limited...

but we're not.
