The most brutal Bible verse

[Deleted member 11126]

Matthew 13:12
>Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what little he has will be taken away from him.

This really is the black pill in writing. Life is not a zero sum game everything you have or don't have builds on itself. If you had good parents and were good looking you will have good self esteem and be confident in yourself. These traits don't just end in themselves the guy with good looks and good parents will also develop positive momentum.

Advantages that seem trivial in the long term become very important and build on each other. Everyone here knows looks matter but the biggest advantages are often the subtle ones. If you were transported into a chad body you would still be decades behind him self esteem wise. You can't fake a good childhood you will always be overcompensating if you didn't have one. Life is a race most people don't know they are racing at all and just happen to run the right direction. Meanwhile you ran the opposite direction at the start of the gun.

Life is a game of momentum its easier to keep failing if you were raised to be a failure and if you were raised to be a winner its easier to keep winning then it is to fail

A guy I knew who worked for the peace corps would tell me about how in Africa the people were so used to being hungry that as soon as they got some money they would spend it all on food.

When they were given seeds for planting they would often eat the seeds right away instead of planting them. This could just be because of low IQ but its also because of low expectations they assume whenever they have access to food that it is the last time they will eat for a while instead of thinking how to get consistent long term food.

Someone who is used to failure will take great joy in any small luxury neglecting far better rewards in the future. Its bad enough that they literally cannot imagine a reality where things are stable and for that reason things will never be stable

Don't forget to mention how African countries are kept poor by 1st world capitalist countries

This is why I've always hated the phrase "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times."
It simply isn't true. Hard times create weak men. It's just that the men who persevere become identified, even in good times they'd still do good.

If you've had an easy childhood and gotten a bunch of good habits and values from your successful parents you'll always do better than someone that has had a shit childhood, with shit examples and no valuable habits. Risilience gained from shit situations will not carry you as far as someone that just learned valuable skills from a young age.

Ironically the average kid born in the 30's probably had a better childhood (although it was harder for sure). All those kids had 2 parent household single mothers and divorced parents were very rare. The family structure had to work hard to survive.

I think the meaning of a hard time can be misconstrued a kid who had proper discipline and two parents who loved him as long as he wasn't starving to the point of brain or physical damage is better off then a lot of kids today.

As long as you were mostly well fed and had 2 parents who supported you plus proper discipline you probably are more likely to succeed then a kid with one mother who was never pushed to do anything.

Oh, trust me Danish Retard. When a woman has a hard time with me, it creates an abundance of squirt and spurt. Sometimes, a gush of fluids. "Oh my gad, I'm so sorry." Once a vagina said as I was soaked and glanced over and saw what looked like someone poured a bowl of watered cream on me. She continued, "That never happens."

"Ugh, tell me about it," I assured her and followed a wink.
