And so, you have no chance to succeed in the realm of the wicked but that knowledge frees you to pursue genuine, meaningful and lasting success by pursuing the good, the beautiful and the true.
A number of people have commented
upon something I said in a recent Darkstream concerning what I perceive as the
intrinsic advantage of understanding and accepting that you have no chance at being allowed the opportunities
that are routinely offered to those who are less talented and less intelligent,
but more morally flexible than you. Whether you find this comforting or depressing is
entirely up to you.
YOU HAVE NO
CHANCE
If you are a good person, if you are a moral person, if you
are a Christian, you are not going to be allowed to succeed in the system past
a certain level. It’s just not going to happen. But it’s very, very freeing to
know this. You’re not going to get the scholarship. You’re probably not going
to get the acceptance letter. You’re not going to get the interview. So, this means you have the
imperative to go out and make things happen on your own.
Because here’s the magical
thing about it. They can’t create. They cannot create things that are good,
beautiful and true. They’re predators and parasites. And so, there’s always
going to be a certain amount of room that is granted to people that just do
their own thing, or for people who just work outside the system, because that’s
where the positive change – the necessary positive change – is going to happen.
What we’re dealing with here is a society that is run by
the wicked and is run by the hedonists…and so, you can save a lot of time. The
beauty of this is that by knowing that you have no chance to succeed within the
system, you can give yourself the opportunity to succeed without it. And the
fact that you are never going to be given that handout, the fact that you’re
never going to be given that fake, easy, pseudo-success, means the success that
you achieve will be real. You’ll never have that impostor syndrome that they’re
always talking about.
And so, you have no
chance to succeed in the realm of the wicked, but that knowledge frees you to
pursue genuine, meaningful and lasting success by pursuing the good, the
beautiful and the true.
