Word, older u get and the more you understand how the world really works. We were conditioned as youth to believe that the world operates on strength. But that’s a lie, the world operates on weakness.
49 laws of power isn’t about maximizing strength, it’s about maneuvering in a world of weakness. And it’s ill that, one of my biggest insecurities growing up was that I wasn’t strong enough.
I looked at all these idols around me that exemplified strength, honor, living by the code of a man. And I felt, like I came up short but I always strived to be that. Afraid that people around me were and I’d one day get called out due to my lack of for a better term..”thug”.
Only to grow up and learn, all that I believe, strived for, conditioned my mind for. Ain’t what the world is. If anything, I’m too fucking hard. If you catch what I’m tryna say. How u hard in a world of pussies. Knowing that u gotta act pussy to get anywhere and be anything.
The devil and the hood is a lie
