Thought

My destination is ahead of me.

So everyone I encounter,

Consider them a frienenemie.

Until proven otherwise.

Because others want to see you

make it to see your downfall

televised.

'Consider them a frienenemie.'

I guess that's the educated approach be wary until someone proves themselves a friend and then as I imagine the theory goes you don't end up getting hurt. I think people are generally better than you think and generally mean well but that's because its been my experience. I think you generally get what you give. fantastic.

Nicely done. While I may not agree with the sentiment in toto there are those I know who cheer you on solely because they love seeing flame outs.

I really love the flow of this so much. It just works so nicely, and I completely agree with your words in this. Really nice(:

No time for sycophants and rightly so, but don't discount that there are some that are willing to help you succeed because they feel you deserve it. Look out world here comes Jason!!

I haven't seen anything like this before - very though provoking. I liked the simplicity.

Its a very hyper-vigilant stand to take but understandable in the current climate.
Im sure its not rare either unfortunately jason...
A good write

Untill proved to be a enemy i would like to see the world as friend. But yes that's not how the world always works, and at times the first meeting is repulsive too..

good work on feelings.

jealousy or bitterness can often drive us to find pleasure in the downfall of others. it is a piece of human nature that we must learn to avoid. great work here! and when they come to see your downfall, i'm sure you'll stand right back up and say "not today" :)

This is kind of a quotation, I suppose! And yes, it is thought inducing! Very well written!

That's actually true. It's a phenomenon known as schadenfreude. Nice work.
