Abandoning others is condemned
Betraying others is condemned
But what if it’s necessary?
This has nothing to do with taking yourself up at the expense of others
With the exception of you removing yourself from their lives, abandoning them
Besides that — you’re not “using” them, you’re not getting one up on them
You’re just leaving them
You’re just leaving them
Which can be rather drastic, yes
But necessary
How is it necessary?
You’re born alone
And in truth you are alone
And your single duty is to expand your consciousness, expand yourself
Your single duty is to take yourself up
Only then do you take others up
You can only give when you’ve something to give
Your single duty is to take yourself up
Obviously this doesn’t mean taking others down
In fact: if you’re wise you’ll understand that to take others down is ultimately to take yourself down. It is detrimental to all.
Your single duty is to take yourself up
Only then you take others up — once you’re up
Once you’re up — you take others up
And if you’re not up — you DON’T WAIT FOR OTHERS
Because you may be waiting a really long fucking time
And there’s no time
Therefore
You must betray them
If you can’t take them with you — you must betray them
And this is not spoken of, is it?
Betrayal is associated with all this Machiavellian nonsense
It seems only the money-game suggests leaving others behind (and again often in a bad way — such as getting over them somehow, zero-sum-game style)
And yet all your growth will require leaving some behind
BETRAYING some
And the more you grow the more alienating you’ll become
And the more alien your past associations, past choices, past selves will become
So please make peace with that
Please take EVERYONE UP that you can
But don’t ever let them be an excuse for stifling your own growth
Don’t let your complacency deceive you under the guise of goodness
It’s NOT goodness — but EVIL — to fail to ELEVATE ONESELF
If you can’t take them with you — abandon them
Go up
THEN give them a hand
