  3. Niccolo Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 – June 21, 1527) wrote The Prince after prison, torture, and exile, with the cold clarity of someone who had seen power from the inside.

    This is not just a book about rulers but about fear, ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and the dangerous people who believe they are born to command others.

  4. I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

    Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

    I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

    I'll #say this.

    All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

    But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

    It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

    If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

    You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

    With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

    That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

    Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

    But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

  5. A quotation from Thoreau

    If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 “Conclusion” (1854)

  8. Are you a #master #manipulator?
    Do you have #ambitions of being the #god of the #universe?
    Can you #envision yourself rising above #greatness and #grandeur?
    Are you capable of unveiling the specialities within yourself?
    Good. You're exactly who I'm looking for.
    Because you already have been one.

  10. The guardrails of #Democracy #Failed. Now It’s Down to Us.

    With government guardrails compromised, #JamelleBouie urges that only #American #voters can #protect #democracy and prevent Trump’s #authoritarian #ambitions from eroding the nation’s foundational values by #voting for #KamalaHarris.

  11. I can only speak for the #culture I grew up in, but I believe the following also applies to most human cultures. We seem to expect our children to know what they want to do, and stick with it. I get how it's imperative to have #goals, #ambitions, and be held #accountable. But our blind demand towards #teenagers to decide on their #future at a time when the #brain is still developing, and then having the expectation that this is a #lifelong decision is ludicrous.
