In order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. Not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. You cannot grow if you keep pretending you're innocent in the story you've created.
KANE: 60+ goals.
OLISE: Most World Cup assists (5).
DEMBÉLÉ: UCL winner, Ligue 1 POTY, World Cup hat-trick.
KVARATSKHELIA: UCL POTY.
MBAPPÉ: Golden Boot & UCL winner.
Yet Messi is the Ballon d’Or favourite because of seven games against Cape Verde, Egypt, Algeria & co?
Using the World Cup to rob others of the honours they earned?
When you argue that Harry Kane should win the Ballon d'Or, they say he "plays in a farmers league" (14 UCL goals aside...).
Then what the hell is MLS and Algeria, Austria, Jordan, Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland?
I once read: "A pseudo-feminist will defame her father for validation, while a misogynistic man will fight the world for his mother."
It makes a lot more sense to me now.
- Gave his penalties to Suarez so Ronaldo doesn't win the golden boot
- Admitted feeling hurt seeing Ronaldo winning
- Asked his teammate if he could do what Ronaldo was doing in Italy
- Boateng said Messi had power to stop his transfer so he was forced to say Messi was better
