If you keep raising the stakes/ante, how much is a person willing to take? Will a person continue to take more and more if there is more and more to be had?

There’s just something about these rich and famous people -their dealings…

I could never make a good lawyer because my brilliance would always come too late.

If you know where the strings of humanity lie -you can become quite popular, powerful, tolerated. A man who knows man well enough, such as satan for example… We’ll just look at how popular and successful, not satan himself but his principles playing on the weak heart-strings of mankind have become.

You see the popularity <-linked-> of very powerful and talented individuals. And it is not due to their spiritual qualities.

Not caring is a sign of self centeredness and caring too much is a sign of self centeredness. Or something like that.

People are reactionary. You do X they do Y. You do why they do Z. It’s not that people aren’t predictable it’s that they respond basically according to what they like and don’t like. And then there’s the dimension of time and sequence. You do enough early on to get people to really like you or fall for you and then later on you can start screwing up and depending on the degree to which you screw up and the duration the duration of its period, people will tolerate it for varying periods to varying periods depending on the individual. How smitten they had become with regard to your initial presentation is why as likable or laughable. How tolerant and patient and desperate people tend to be with, in the face of the latter. It’s more than just a game it’s a psychology. Unfortunately most people are not just game players but psychological in there heart-of-hearts.

I’m not sure it’s true early on anyways, to say that I’ve never been a fan of impressions. But I will say they’re a most powerful thing in the human world.

One of the 1st things we learn growing up is what we like and don’t like and what others like and don’t like. It appears to be a central theme in both our existence and our relationships – Or if you prefer, our existence and the existence of others.
