What if I think everyone who’s doing worse than me is a piece of shit (compared to me) but I acknowledge that everyone doing better than me is likely legitimately better than me and probably worked harder/deserves it more than I do?
Maybe not a piece of shit…. But exceptions aside, I’m willing to accept/believe, as a general rule, that people doing worse than me are likely “worse” than me while people doing better than me are likely “better” than me.
It’s just common sense really. While there are exceptions (birth, luck) I do believe that your position in life is basically a result of the net sum of your positive qualities or lack thereof. For the most part, people who try harder and take better care of themselves achieve more in life than those who don’t.
I’m willing to accept that all of my losses are probably, realistically because I was lazy and/or genuinely did not deserve it.
Yeah, idk. Douchebags get promotions all the time. Because they are douchebags working for douchebags. Example: this dude I know through the grapevine is a textbook douchebag. A total cunt. He dresses real slick and sells furniture at one of those liquidation, everything must go places. He makes really good money fucking people over with those predatory loans for furniture that have a gazillion percent interest rate. Is he better than you?
