    we are ruled by people of the dark triad

    Money allows you to disconnect from painful experiences. Allows you to tailor your world to be whatever you want. Whatever you cant do, you use your wealth to block or drown out of your memory. Its self delusion.

    I’ve always wondered why they never see that not doing a thing would be better for them in the medium to long term.

      I know. I made quite a lot of money due to some luck and special abilities. I met some millionaires.

      They’re ignorant and indifferent to the pain of others at best and they will ruin you if you cross them at worst.

        I only really know that its the situation/mindset of self delusion (minus the narcissism) I have spent years trying to leave (my earliest comments appear grisly to me when looking back) and I see it in their eyes too.

          Well, we all learn and I wouldnt say a lot of things I said theoughout my life anymore. Dont cringe about your past, be happy that you were able to learn, adapt and change.

            First off, happy easter! ❤️

            Absolutely, However I can only fully move on when I physically move out. But because America is America and I have a depressed roomate that drags me down sometimes.
