So do you believe in honey or vinegar in getting things in your life? I see many people who try to get mean and try to intimidate people with aggressive, mean and rude behavior and others who are very charming, polite and courteous to get their way in life. Everything I have in life is thru charming people. Look at what my new friend Chef Khushal treated me to. Lamb Biryyani.

Be careful not confusing being polite and courteous with being cunning & highly clever - Like a vampires charm-coating their personality to be accepted as their own in the world of angels. These two are different scenarios. I had to mention because some monsters say that the mask they put on is of courtesy & politeness when in fact, they actually only hide their venom & stings underneathe their sheep clothing. In reality, they ‘pretend’ to be polite & courteous but they are not. Their true self shows as soon as there is no one around & they shed off the clothing (no pun
)
While Im all for being polite & courteous. That is what the religion and all the civilsocieties suggest. I am genuinely all that except when you must ‘pretend’ to be like one to get ahead or for any worldly benefit.
Problem is that the world at large has become so toxic that it is impossible to survive in it without coating your personality with all the charming tools. All the people do that hiding their big vampirish personalities behind that charming mask. This is a lesson I was told to learn by my father at a young age but I could not make myself learn because i could not make myself act to be pretentious. I have no regrets because luckily, I don’t depend on the world so much to need that camouflage. Majority people need because their survival heavily depends on the world as it is. When your iman is strong you dont need such a camouflage.
A wise man once told me, “Be just like you are. Don’t change a thing. Atleast you have no regrets & will have no regrets living under a mask pretending to be someone you are not.” So I live by that rule even though it has damaged me materially at quite a few occasions. Still no regrets. I followed my heart.
I like Bobby because he is quite similar to me in his perspectives on life, we both believe what we are is NOT because this is how we were meant to be, but because how WE decide (and work towards) to be.

See this is how just one little word can turn someones day around, what ever you do is projected back to you. I could just have said dont worry about me, I can buy from store and there would be no excitement to my evening. This is how by doing nothing extra you can have a phenomenal life.
