Envy prompted you to steal from me,
You are sick and your disease is greed
What I stole is not a pity, only you cause pity

Sincerity is my only cunning
This simplicity is my wisdom,
You mistake my honesty for stupidity
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness.

Step me up and I'll get up
I'll survive if you stick a knife in my back
I see you consider the one you threw as a sucker
But it turned out that you yourself were deceived.
And no longer on the street without protection,
Even the closest ones look somehow strange,
Are they up to something or just imagined?
All the world has left for you is rage.
This is your deliberate choice, not the results of mistakes,
You are so dexterous, resourceful and flexible
Walking over their heads like an elephant in a crockery shop,
You ran away from yourself, but you cannot run away from here.
Do you want to rise higher, committing baseness,
But how much mind is needed to go to meanness,
And all your intrigues are just petty dirty tricks
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness.
Such as you have seen, this is nothing new to me
Disabled people have their conscience amputated
But I have forgotten all those who once did me nasty,
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. Steal from me you led envy,
You "re sick and your illness - is greed
Stealing is not sorry, but you are pathetic,

Sincerity - my only trick
That "s simplicity is my wisdom,
You take my honesty nonsense,
Do not take my kindness for weakness.

Lend me the bandwagon - I get up,
Survive if votknesh knife in my back,
I see you think lohom of whom threw,
But it so happened that you yourself are deceived.
And neither nor outside without protection,
Even the closest look somehow strange,
They are up to something or just imagine it?
All that is left of the world for you - is the rage.
This is your conscious choice, not a result of errors,
You "re so clever, resourceful and flexible,
Going over the head like a bull in a china shop,
You run away from yourself, but you can not get away from here.
Do you want to go higher, having made meanness,
But how many of mind necessary to go to the meanness,
And all your plot - just petty nasty,
Do not take my kindness for weakness.
Like you I have seen, for me it is not news,
We disabled amputated conscience
But I forgot all those who have made me once muck
Do not take my kindness for weakness.

Just be a bastard. I was really surprised by this paradox many times. If you are an outright egoistic bastard who wanted to spit on others, who does not take into account anyone's opinion, constantly scandalous and shaking rights, then ... people will always be nice and friendly with you, many will like you, they will seek your approval, no one will ever look for you will not judge.

If the opposite is true, and you are trying to be nice, not to impose your opinion on anyone, respect the rights of others, are ready to compromise and discuss, show tact and delicacy - a rare counterpart will miss the opportunity to wipe your feet on you. And if you suddenly try to be indignant with such an attitude, get ready for an explosion from the opposite side. How dare you, you bloody selfish! In general, you do not respect others!

And suddenly the whole banality came to me - but these are primitive instincts!

In a primitive view, aggressiveness and bastard behavior equals strength. They prefer not to quarrel with the strong, because they are afraid to receive a return, their favors will be sought. Why do few people dare to contact an aggressive pensioner or drunken gopnik, even if he is not too impressive in physique? Because from them you can get a return in the form of a slander in the organs or a knife under the ribs. The instinct of self-preservation works, aggressive = dangerous = strong. If the aggressiveness of the first one is higher, then less aggressive “individuals” will look for a way to appease the “leader”. Tyrants-tyrants always have a retinue of hangers-on who wipe off next to him.

With people of soft nature, everything is exactly the opposite. Softness and compliance are mistaken for weakness and immediately begin to aggression, asserting themselves. They are not afraid to receive in return, so they are terribly surprised when they receive. After all, soft people are not always weak, as it might seem. And I would even say, on the contrary - only a very strong, both physically and spiritually, an absolutely self-confident person can afford the luxury of being kind. Do not be afraid to give in, take the first step yourself, show concern for your neighbor, without expecting a boorish trick on their part.

There is a bit of psychology. If you observe carefully, it will soon become clear that boors are shouting about rudeness, egoists are shouting about selfishness, scoundrels about meanness, greedy people, etc. Indeed, in others we see a reflection of ourselves, we notice the qualities that are related to us faster.

I remembered a nursery rhyme-riddle:
“The wise man saw the wise man in him,
A fool is a fool
A ram is a ram
A sheep saw a sheep in him,
And a monkey is a monkey. "

In the people around him, a person will look for his reflection. And if people of questionable decency are gaining popularity ... then you should think about it.
