smh @ new orleans (self included) rn. at this BIG OL AGE OF 300 YEARS old
we still got a LOT to do
however, look around…
let’s figure out how we got here
so we never come back here
I'm not judging anyone, but I think people are not thinking right now
You do not want society ran by a bunch of extremist, lying, hypersexual, non committal people
That's one reason everything is a mess now because there's more acceptance of these things
It really doesnt work
Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember anti-intellectualism is on the rise, literacy is in decline, and I don’t want to be a VICTIM!
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Either you have that dog in you, or you don't..
That's really what it all boils down to
Can't keep letting weeks and years pass, and you're still not living up to who you want to be
