good

There is no good

in the world, 

there are only 

winners.

There is no saint

who will save your soul

and abhor the cruel

and evil

for your evil.

you win by winning,

not by being called

a winner.

and you lose because 

you lost,

not because you were

called a loser.

So there is no good 

in the world,

there is no righteous

no savior,

no God, 

no saint.

There is no young person on 

the side of the street

helping an old woman

pass by.

There is only you

and I

and who can live 

their life

better.

I want to be good, though.

I want to be a winner, too.

Author's Note

recently I've been thinking about living life from a new perspective, and to do that, I want to write more !

It is the methods by which we achieve our objectives, which help to define whether or not we are good.

Of course, objectives can sometimes be good or bad; but it depends upon the context in which we are working towards those objectives.

In addition, it depends upon our motivations behind working towards whatever objectives we have in life.

Ultimately, whether or not you see yourself as a "winner"; also depends upon how you define success.

By setting the bar too high, for defining a "win"; it inevitably means that you have created an opportunity to lose. So, why do that to yourself in the first place? Except for when, you know for sure; that "winning" is actually going to bring you some satisfaction or contentment.

But, unless you eventually find enough satisfaction and content in life; it's virtually impossible to actually be happy. So, don't allow yourself to be angst-ridden or frustrated; through setting restrictive parameters about what it means to be a "winner"...

[John the Baptist]

Some apparent winners are actually losers within themselves.

Woah! Haven't seen you on here in a while and there is so much to dissect with this!

Your take on good and bad is different, you saying that there are only winners in the world is talking about how now it feels like we only live to self gratify.

"No saint who will abhor the cruel and the evil for your evil" I think with this line you were trying to say that we are all bad people, we pray to repent and say that we apologize, only to do it again to harm someone or something, and repent again, so this line is saying that there is no saint who will make you feel good about being evil to an evil person, that's like...beautiful.

" you win by winning, not by being called a winner, you lose because you lost, not because someone called you a loser" This is actually the best line i've ever read, it emphasizes the importance of actions and results over mere labels or titles. It suggests that true success comes from actually achieving victory through your efforts and abilities, not just being recognized or praised for it. Similarly, failure is determined by the outcome and the mistakes made, rather than how others perceive or label you. In essence, the saying emphasizes the significance of tangible accomplishments and losses rather than external validation or judgment. You're again talking about how we live to self gratify and for external validation from other people.

I like how you say "there is only you and I and who can live their life better" like even living is a competition for humans because we NEED to win.

Then you wrap it up by admitting that you DO want to be a good person, you want to be something undefinable and holy, but you also want to be a winner, this is you understanding that you live too self gratify as well, that you are exactly who you disdain, and that's beautiful.

Love seeing your writing as per usual, this was one of your shorter ones, but incredibly good.

Wait do you secretly have my notebook because this is, bar for bar, exactly what I meant when writing this...

Thank you Cain!!!
