Either say nothing or say whatever’s on your mind
this is not trivial mind you
Either say nothing and don’t prattle stupid nonsense and make small-talk
or say EXACTLY what’s on your mind — and convey yourself
Don’t say nothing polite
Don’t say nothing ingratiating
Don’t say nothing friendly
Say nothing or say something substantial
Polite is just fake
Sure you want to sometimes be polite to conceal your antagonism
But obviously it’s a short term strategy — you don’t want to live your only life concealing your true attitude to people around you
You don’t want to spend your life having to conceal anything
Don’t ingratiate
Be the man of value — so that value gravitates to you
You can short-term ingratiate your way into a job or relationship — but your cunning and deceit will always be revealed
You can cut the nonsense immediately by being real
“Friendly” is just fake — pretending you’re a friend
Either you’re a friend — and you’re by definition friendly — or you’re no friend — and you’re just a fraud posing as a friend
This only makes sense if someone can benefit you — and it’s still only short term — because you can only build so much on the foundation of lie
SAY EXACTLY WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND
what does it mean?
nothing fancy
you can say any nonsense — as long as it conveys the kind of PERSON you are
as long as it’s not fake
for most people – just not being fake is an achievement
just not being fake conveys so much about the real you
and that’s all you have to do
convey the real you
no fake smiles no fake small-talk no nonsense politeness
the sooner you get over all that stupid nonsense the better
you don’t have to say nothing special — just being real sets you apart
though the sooner you convey yourself — the better
so either say nothing or say what’s on your mind
eradicate all the noise from your interaction
so that you can make TRUE relationships
and so that every breath you draw and every word that proceeds out of your mouth is inspired with care, meaning and sense of urgency
sense of urgency about this short life that we’re living
