“Nice Guys Finish…..”

When did it happen? When did it take first place?
When did we as individuals decide to give precedence to the expectation of others over our own sense of right and wrong? When did our own personal instincts become “selfish” at the expense of goodness and kindness?
It’s as if the rug as been pulled out from beneath our feet, where once as people, we stood for hardcore principles and values, and now we gage our “necessary” behaviors and treatment towards others on our bank account balances.
And yes -of course- surviving in this world is a brutal journey, but a soul-less experience of life is not “living”.
The old saying, “nice guys finish last” is the new mantra. If we’re not shrewd, cunning and well-connected, we’re deemed doomed to end as somebody’s step-stool. But time will tell…..
This fast-track lifestyle will soon burn to the point where it won’t matter who finishes first, or last; just who finishes at all. Perhaps then a new and shorter mantra can take the place of the old:
“Nice guys finish…..”
