What are some cold hard truths about life?

Here's one:

I'm not saying you should be a criminal, but you have to bend the rules a little bit to get ahead in life.
I know people who done things the right way and still got screwed out of a deal, or missed out on a promotion because they didn't play the game

You suffer more in imagination than in reality.

You will be crossed by people close to you multiple times in life. You will be cheated on, back doored, and disrespected. How you respond to the first time it happens respectively will determine how often it happens..

It is impossible to please everyone. Someone is always going to have a problem with something or someone.

Live to learn but also follow wisdom when you are offered it. Apart of living is accepting that youre going to fall on your face and have to learn how to walk on your own. Nobody can teach you that no matter how much youve been told. You either have the will to survive in you or you dont. A lot of people give up or settle for the bullshyt because folks dont BELIEVE theres a better way. Sometimes some of the answers are within. You have to use the universe to help interpret those answers. Its not the same for everybody. Your journey is yours to follow. Thats why you have to be comfortable being alone because theres times when youre gonna have nobody but yourself to lean on.

A part of therapy is having to do the work as in you gonna have to work on yourself. Self improvement is a 24/7 job. Never give up on yourself. Sadly, it takes incarceration to make some people to see the light in themselves but its too late.

Not everyone get a happy ending.

no one cares about fairness for you or others, just fairness for themselves.... so i agree with you....

The police department on The Wire is this in a nutshell.

Always Say Less Than Necessary.

And put yourself first. However that looks like for you…put you and yours first.

It's 100% on you to make something of yourself and your life. No one is going to put in the work for you.

It's better to be the capable person whose coattails are being ridden, than to be on the coattails of someone else.
