Coming Up!

Why is it, that as much as we try to deny it, there is always an underlying sense of satisfaction involved in the process of hurting another person? Is someone else’s downfall the only way for us to rise? Are you not placed on the “meant to rise list” unless you outmaneuver someone on the way? damn! It is a sad reality that dawns on us the day that we realize that no matter how much we try to fool ourselves with talks of morals and ideals, treachery is the only way to get ahead on this life’s path! Yes, that’s what life seems to be, no permanent partners or friends, just temporary ones that sooner a later a conflict of interest will manage to separate. And as time passes by in the continuous ebb and tide of life, it all boils down to the fact that your rise will always be coupled with someone else’s fall. Why? Don’t ask me, for all I know is that this a reality that has been forced on me, one that I only accepted after I spent a lot of time picking myself off the ground as I continuously tried to deny it. Who knows? Maybe there is some kind of elite list with a limited number of members allowed on each level and to secure yourself a spot on the top of the “food chain” there’s only one method: old reliable elimination!!! So you have your friendships while they last, you love, you bond, and have fun and its all real, as real as it gets, but its all part of the bigger illusion, the one life spins you in, the one you remain completely oblivious about until you come face to face with “reality”, ironic no? its funny to realize that the only fraction of your life that lies in reality is all embedded within a greater illusion, one that keeps life set on the correct track. And with time, all this starts making sense to you, and you stop feeling hurt and betrayed when someone tries to break you or put you down, because now you realize that in this dog-eat-dog world its survival of the fittest. You eventually manage to suck it up, excuse my language, and you realize that at least this makes life’s cruelty a little bit more understandable. And so you continue your path with this newfound “reality”, or is it really? ;)
