    Either the situation is worth the sacrifice or it isn’t. If you feel like you’re getting the short end of the stick, try taking into account the spiritual benefits of doing the right thing.

    If that doesn’t tip the balance into feeling like you made the right choice, you probably made the wrong choice.

    When one is actually clear about one’s values, and their relative position in one’s personal hierarchy, it relieves an enormous amount of existential stress.

    Sorry, I don’t know how. My brain has so many memories of how being an asshole got me majorly fucked it’s super apparent I’m not good at it. Better just be really kind to people because I want to live in a world where we are kind to each other.

    Even when you live like this, being kind to others, things tend to work out. You might feel like Ralph here only if you’re super competitive and are trying to get one up on everyone. I’ve managed to climb pretty high, despite my humble beginning. Lots got here before me. I still got here, tho. Also, since I didn’t shank anyone to do it I’m pretty unique and you’ll appreciate it more when I lift you up, too.

      It’s easier to be kind and let things go that don’t work out than it is to be an asshole with sociopathic tendencies that everyone remembers.

      Well it is a shitpost, you shouldn’t take it 100% literal, but there’s a time and place to be an asshole. Most of the time it’s not, but when the time does come it can mean a whole lot.

      Not true. Money often does corrupt people, because money is very often the means to power, and power definitely corrupts most people over time.

    If this kind of thing is bothering you regularly, then you probably need to update your definition of “asshole”.
