Is honor for suckers?
I wonder.
My friend Richard has honor. Integrity is something that he puts first and foremost.
And where has it gotten him?
Most of the time he doesn’t have two pennies to rub together.
An aspiring writer after twenty years of rejection, what has integrity done for him?
I know, the world doesn’t owe anybody anything.
However if it is the intention of life to see that a man has nothing, why not just let him die in the womb?
Why all the senseless suffering, trying to make something work that never will?
Dreams, aspirations, persistence; which is what those who have succeeded, tell you, that’s all you need.
Bullshit.
You also need the luck of the gods or the Devil.
However those who have it, don’t recognize it; and therefore think that if they can do it, anybody can.
And that is more bullshit.
People have accepted this fallacy as a truism.
Saying never give up.
So when does persistence suddenly turn into kicking a dead horse?
And of course it is always the individual’s fault; because there is no one to blame.
Not God, not the Devil. No one.
What people fail to realize is that there must come luck with persistence.
Without luck, the world shows just how unfair it can truly be.
And dreams and aspirations are tossed to the four winds.
And who gives a shit?
Try as hard as you like, and hope you don’t get screwed.
This is highly likely, in spite of who is running the show.
Because it isn’t what you know, it is who you know.
And coming back to the reality after the illusion can sometimes be hard to do.
It wasn’t supposed to go that way, it just did.
