nice guys finish last

remember all those old looney tunes cartoons that we used to watch as a kid

remember the phrase 'nice guys finish last'

remember how in the end good triumphed over evil

now place that in context in the real world, and you realise that third statement tends rarely to happen

it is no longer in the best interests of the individual to be good or nice anymore. it's become all about survival, and to survive you must be ruthless. more so, to thrive your heart must be cast-iron.

sure there are exceptions to this. one has been sitting at the same table with me for many days now.

but it's not easily denied. it's not worth being the nice guy anymore

because nice guys do finish last.
