There came a time in my life when I became respectable. I spoke the truth, worked hard, negotiated in good faith, and helped build others up along with myself. I changed my behavior 180 degrees from what it once was, and the way people treated me did not change One Fucking IOTA. I realized that people's childhood indoctrination, natural biases, selfishness and bigotry rule the day. Your success and flourishing are completely at the whims of those who surround you, and their approval of you is directly proportional to how much you conform to the norm that you find yourself surrounded by, and those in power you know within it. Competency, trustworthiness, education, productivity, results?...these things barely matter if at all.
