When you're nice, it's an obvious sign of weakness. You worry too much about stepping on people's toes, you take crap, and it paves the way for people to walk all over you.
When you're mean, well, you're just a big jerk. No one wants to be around you, because you have no care for people's feelings, and take advantage of others for your own benefit.
If you give things away for free, then the people who didn't receive anything will bawl and shout that, "it's not fair!" that they didn't get anything.
If you don't give things away for free, then you're stingy and greedy, and whatever you have, you don't deserve.
When you tell someone the truth, they often don't want to hear it.
When you lie to someone, you're not doing them much good are you?
If you follow a faith or God, you're a fool for doing so.
If you choose to abstain from religion, then you're damned.
When the homeless man asks for money, and you give it to him, you're only supporting his drug habit.
When the homeless man asks for money, and you refuse him, you're being cruel.
Agreeing means you're sucking up.
Disagreeing means you're too contrary.
When you try to please everyone, you will invariably fail.
When you try to please yourself, there's a chance you might actually succeed.

I agree, particularly with your conclusion. As cynical and jaded as it may seem. I was reminded of these lyrics from Garden Party by Rick Nelson:
ReplyDelete"But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself."
I've seen people try to please everyone, and I've had my moments of trying to please everyone. It's stressful. Those lyrics are spot on. <3
