    Sorry, I don’t know how. My brain has so many memories of how being an asshole got me majorly fucked it’s super apparent I’m not good at it. Better just be really kind to people because I want to live in a world where we are kind to each other.

    Even when you live like this, being kind to others, things tend to work out. You might feel like Ralph here only if you’re super competitive and are trying to get one up on everyone. I’ve managed to climb pretty high, despite my humble beginning. Lots got here before me. I still got here, tho. Also, since I didn’t shank anyone to do it I’m pretty unique and you’ll appreciate it more when I lift you up, too.

      It’s easier to be kind and let things go that don’t work out than it is to be an asshole with sociopathic tendencies that everyone remembers.

      Well it is a shitpost, you shouldn’t take it 100% literal, but there’s a time and place to be an asshole. Most of the time it’s not, but when the time does come it can mean a whole lot.

    lI can hardly count the number of times I was overseen, forgotten, passed, etc all because I was too friendly and non-intrusive. This meme is very true.

      Yes, and unfortunately that’s why the world is the way it is. If empathy, creativity and humility were the values that would take us forward in society, everyone would be better off. But that’s a utopia that will never happen, I’m afraid. Because there will always be people who take advantage of the good nature of others to gain an advantage for themselves. That seems to be human nature - and will also be the downfall of humanity, I think. The tyranny of selfishness, built on the shoulders of good people and only made possible by their ruthless exploitation.
