"The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast."
Oscar Wilde
Vicious, greedy, violent, hateful, selfish, stupid, people prance across the stage. Every minute of every fucking day. They spit on their audience.
Sensitive, loving, intelligent people wait in the wings - understudies looking for a chance. They will never get it. They will never fucking get it.
The world is not built to reward people who feel empathy. It is built to reward scumbags, cheaters, liars - people who are happy to shit on everyone below them as they climb the ladder to a fat bank account.
Those with empathy look up from below and are rewarded with feces to the face. They wipe it off, unconvincingly, and take another step up - right into a torrent of rancid bile that knocks them off the ladder, to a hard landing on top of the endless pile of fools who came before.
This is the game. This is what it has always been.
Oscar Wilde understood.
