We can look at a couple of scenarios.

In an office setting, person A and person B are applying for a promotion. Person A is the sort of person who will highlight competitors fukk ups and let people sink so that they can look better. Person B is the sort of person who tries to have the back of his colleagues. If the 2 are competing for the promotion, A will step on B to get the promotion if the opportunity presents itself.

In the romantic department, A is the sort of person who will say what people want to hear whereas B prides himself on being honest. A will find it easier to stack up short term relationships as they will have less qualms about stringing people along.

It does, however, balance out. If you live a good life, it affords more stability. You live a bad life, you're always going to be on the move as you burn bridges.

We both know that will never happen for the vast majority of people living.

I don't know that. The so called "return of Christ" is mankind collectively moving beyond simply acting as the persona and into authenticity, not zombie jesus. And I am here to help facilitate that.

I shine, you shine my nikka...

Those who remain unaware, "good people" included will be subject to the unconcious effects of their actions (karma).

Karma does not exist. It's just a coping mechanism

There is zero benefit to being a good person in this world, so do what you gotta do to get ahead
I'd actually say there's enormous benefit to being a good person.

Those who lead with being a good tend to get much further as long as when people dealt them bad, they weren't a pushover. Meaning once they've been wronged they didn't stick around to being wronged again by the same person or fought back the next time around.

Even in the real world if you know somebody is good, that means more connections and more opportunities.

If you know someone is toxic, people will stay away and that toxic person would actually have a harder time.

Reputation professionally is a big factor. I know a few people I'd never work with again and who I'd never try and get them a job if they asked.

Even Rick Ross (or it could have been another artist) said they wouldn't have made it if his people didn't bring him up all the time in conversations to other people and people did that because they rocked with them as a person and wanted to see them make it.

Sure there are some people like Jeff Bezos who are purely self-made or an a$$hole like Elon Musk, but the mass majority of times, being a shytty, toxic person leaves to a horrible life with a ceiling to how high you can make it unless you're already an extraordinarily and undeniably talented person.

Jeff Bezos still is tolerable enough to be invited to some social events and get clout like the Beyonce party, but Elon Musk will never be invited to it and you can see dude insanely salty about it.

If you want to see it for yourself, try being more of a shytty person to see how far you can really fall.

That isn't really true and is quite idealistic.



The other part about aggression vs peace making is cool but the part quoted isn't as people will think twice about going against a bad man or even attempting vengeance because of what he's capable whereas Ned Flanders gets no respect as they perceive no threat. Truly there are layers to this and those who wish to win are often willing to do anything to achieve those ends.

Know what happens? They do. Often.

The so called "return of Christ" is mankind collectively moving simply acting as the persona, not zombie jesus. And I am here to help facilitate that.

I have no doubt about that but (unless you know something I don't) thats not on schedule for those milling around in the flesh at the moment as we are barely seeing the sprinkling of the seeds of a higher consciousness, both in the individual and collective. Granted those Doing the Knowledge now in these times of engineered darkness bring the "whole lift all ships" thing as being the change they wish to manifest by setting the tone and example.

If you ever study history as a series of ebbs and flows it reveals an interesting Pattern when it comes to this. Like wheels within wheels in that respect. Anyway, it keeps the Game interesting, yes?

Fictional character but Walter White exemplifies the whole "Nice guy things finish last" thing so well. Once he dropped the business suit and allowed his inner Tupac free reign things changed in his life as he got the money, power and respect he'd always craved.

Of course he went off the rails but I just say this as an example as everyone knows the real life equivalent. Maybe they weren't meth dealing teachers but it generally seems those who play by the rules get screwed whilst the demons run amok. Especially if we're speaking of generally righteous dudes trying to do what is good vs those who set out with the intent to screw over as many people as they can. Even society and its entertainment choices highlight the lack of respect for the nice guy if not flat out disdain.

Don't you find that odd? Why does that seem to be the case, overwhelmingly? Also:

What I'm seeing is that those fees come after accumulated points on a license...or a DUI. I'm also seeing that these fines were due over a year, not necessarily in one shot. If so, 500 over a year is $42 a month.

I had a situation where an officer tried to give me 8 points for 1 small thing...so I get it. But I wasn't having it. I paid a lawyer and got it knocked down...and I had to borrow some of the money to pay her.
The accumulated points thing might be the case now, but it definitely wasn't that back in the days. I got my first ticket in 2005 and it was a no insurance, I got the resp fee immediately.

You right about not having to pay it all up front, but it's bullshyt to begin with abd expecting a young dude fresh out of HS to be willing to spend 1500$ for 1 single no license, it's unrealistic.

:russ:I do find it interesting that so many people are picking this. Like most of my threads don't have a splash of irreverence sprinkled on a topic of depth like a garnish of ignorance.

Its not like I could lead with a personal example as no one would read the paragraphs needed so I chose something from the collective consciousness instead in order to help people get my drift. Anyway, Ned has his own dark secrets:

You need a job and you've been a real shytty person with a bad reputation - good luck.

People don't want to network with scumbags or be around miserable people.

You better be really really good at what you do if you go down that road.

Remember survivorship bias: there are plenty of great people out there who are completely happy, respectful people that don't have ambitions to reach the top of any mountain because they're content with where they are and life is going great for them.

That's more the case what happens to good people than not.

Some of ya'll need to get off social media and not watch as many movies because that's career suicide to take a mentality like that unless you're a quant or something cutthroat business-oriented.

You should have car insurance. $42 a month isn't unrealistic. There's the system fuçking people trying to do right, and there's making a choice and hoping the consequence doesn't catch you.

"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God". 2 Corinthians 4:4

Always found that interesting. Like a clause tucked away in the terms and conditions if you think about what was written.

There is no remedy, the world is what it is, it was founded on sin and handed over to satan and it will be like this until the end of time. God has His own ways, even we as His children will never fully understand the meaning of all this until we are face to face with Him.

What we, black people should do is fight against all forms of injustice and evil and not just turn the other cheek.

It ain't about schedule, there is no time my man. And we see what we are looking for.

Interesting, yes...to the intellect. Spinning it's wheels trying to flex what it knows, reaching the limits where either imagination has to kick in, or past patterns have to be re-anaylzed in more detail because the only thing the intellect can really grasp is what it already knows.

All the power, all the forward motion is in the unknown. We all have to make that leap at some point.

From acting (as the persona) into directing (as the authentic self, divine pressence, 'god')

That observation is fine with me, my observation is that it shouldn't have existed in the first place, in which is the reason Big Gretch made it a priority to get rid of. 60% of people under 30 having a suspended license is sone shyt that is a systematic issue. Sure, I was aware of the consequences. But why is a actual moving violation not part of the fees? Your license should not be suspended for inability to pay or even refusal to pay for a non driving violation. I'd rather it came out of my taxes abd that makes the most sense.

You are pretty much telling me that just because I'm aware of the consequences, I should be fine with moving accordingly. The consequences don't at all match the violation. This is literally a definition of systematic oppression my dawg.
