October 6, 2024 Memoirs from under the stairs
There is no need for hypocrisy for those who come from the mud.
What I have learned. People dislike you more when they feel overwhelmed
I haven’t learned much.
Just enough to survive and get by in a world that, for one reason or another, has always considered me different, or unworthy, or immoral, or strange, or in any case, a threat to those “established” certainties that soothe the souls of the so-called well-thinking and those who occupy a position of prestige in this society built for “good people”.
That is why I have always tried to keep a very low level, to always stay in my place.
It is certainly not dislike of myself ; but from what little I have learned, I have realized that people dislike you more when they feel overpowered.
Therefore, since I am already tall in my own right, I prefer to occupy a lower position when I have to face someone, precisely so that I do not find reasons for the irrational dislike that they might inevitably feel toward me.
So I have learned a few things, because I did not need more.
And among them, the dangers that lurk in ambition, in the desire to overpower others, in the presumption of being better.
And I also learned another, even more important lesson : hypocrisy.
Those who come from the mud have no reason to be hypocrites : from the moment we are born, we know that we belong to that category of human beings for whom there will never be any recognition.
No matter how many showers we take, we will always remain dirty.
No matter how many values we cultivate, we will always remain morally inferior.
Because the positions we occupy (the last ones) have already been determined “a priori” and assigned to us long ago.
And there is no “redemption.”
