My experience has taught me that the good people in the world always finish last. ie don't get the promotion, don't win the election. Only in the movies does the good guy get the girl.
To get to the top you have to be vindictive, calculating and single minded in your climb up the corporate and policital ladder. Once at the top, your only interest is yourself.
Please tell me I'm mistaken.

the forged individual or the extra spiritually conscious do have a extra durable time initially in this worldwide. this is because of fact they have learnt the thank you to handle others with love and appreciate, which regrettably hard nosed agencies do not want them to do. existence additionally ensures that the forged individual is the happiest and maximum delicate with themselves. financial and fabric beneficial factors are yet a shallow reflection of existence's real treasures, and existence additionally ensures that the forged guy, consistently gets the forged woman interior the top, who could have been messed around by using undesirable men, and actually take excitement in the exceptional guy while he comes alongside. The undesirable woman could have messed around the forged guy and moved onto somebody with extra glamour (undesirable guy) and so the status quo is finished. each and every thing is in stability. stability is everywhere.

Okay.
You're mistaken.
I don't want the promotion, I didn't run for office, I did get the girl. I never wanted to get to the top. I wanted to be happy. I got that. What do I need with an ulcer at 35, and a pack of subordinates who fear, or hate, rather than respect me. If I had to get to where I am by backstabbing, and stepping on people, then I'd better be really good at looking over my shoulder. There's more to life than an office with a window.
Way more.

If the good guy gets the girl, it's rated PG;
if the bad guy gets the girl, it's rated R;
and if everybody gets the girl, it's rated X ...

SCNR ... To answer your question, I'm a good guy (of course), and while I do not finish first in most cases, I manage to finish second quite frequently. That's my survival technique. Let others have the first prize, I go for the second. I have my peace that way and I hope to live longer :)

you may be right, but the good people will always be able to sleep good at night knowing they haven't compromised their values for material gain. I guess it depends on what is important to you, being at the top of the food chain with all the pressures that come with it, or following your own course and being able to sleep well every single night.

You are mistaken.
I joined the military, had a spotless record.
Now, in my 40's retired, living a great life.

Yes and the meek shall inherit the earth. (when its all messed up and polluted and worthless). In this world you need to go after what you want. The point is to win ~ everything must bend to that truth.
