The world we live in is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a savage battlefield where dreams are shattered, and only the most ruthless make it out alive. There’s no room here for sweet fairy tales or naïve fantasies. This is a world built on glorifying wealth, lusting after beauty, and crushing anyone who can’t keep up. If you’re not dripping in riches, turning heads with your looks, or lying in an expensive casket, then you’re a nobody. Period. Want proof? Pour your heart out to someone, talk about your struggles, and see how fast they tune you out. They don’t care unless you’re successful, stunning, or dead. That’s the hard truth most people don’t want to admit.
Look around. This society is a cesspool of hypocrisy, where fakeness is celebrated and authenticity is trashed. People don’t love the real you; they love the mask you wear. You could be the most genuine person, but it won’t make a difference unless you’re willing to pretend to be something else. The so-called advice to “stay true to yourself” is a laughable lie told by the same people who’ll worship someone for being a walking lie. It’s a damn popularity contest where integrity loses every time. They’ll sing your praises when you’re putting on a show, but the moment you show them your true self, they’ll tear you apart. And the only time they’ll show up is at your funeral—not out of love or respect, but because they want to put on their own performance of false grief. That’s the cold, hard truth: they’re liars and actors, every single one of them.
Then there’s anger—an emotion that turns the smartest person into a fool. The moment you lose control, you’re finished. Every word you spew and every rash action you take in a fit of rage becomes another weapon for your own downfall. You think snapping at someone or making impulsive decisions when you’re pissed is a sign of strength? It’s not. It’s weakness. Because every decision made in anger is like setting fire to your own future. You can’t take back words said in fury or undo damage caused by your own reckless behavior. Once it’s done, it’s done. You’ll only have yourself to blame when the smoke clears and all you’re left with is regret.
Now let’s talk about life’s real teachers: heartbreaks, empty pockets, and failures. Forget about success stories; they don’t teach you shit. True lessons come when you’re down on your knees, scraping the bottom of the barrel. When your heart’s shattered, your wallet’s empty, and you’re staring failure in the face, that’s when life shows you who you really are. And here’s another truth: no one is coming to save you. Don’t expect sympathy or help from anyone because people only respect winners. They’ll walk right past you if you’re struggling, but suddenly they’ll flock around when you’re on top. That’s the harsh reality: people only notice you when they can gain something from it.
And as for happiness? It’s not found in some imaginary paradise where all your desires come true. It’s hidden in the things you take for granted every single day. But the world keeps you chasing unattainable bullshit, making you believe that contentment is something you need to buy. It’s not. The less you care about keeping up appearances and chasing approval, the happier you’ll be. Stop wasting your life on things and people that don’t matter. Because in the end, society doesn’t care until you’ve made it big, become eye candy, or are rotting in a luxurious grave. Anything less, and you’re just another faceless pawn for them to step on and forget.
