Some of us occupy an empty space. Our promises aren’t credible. We say things that we have no intention of abiding by. We do so because we depend on the trust and gullibility of others. Everything for us is a game of winning at the loss of those we consider to be weak. Only cowards operate from a place of inequality. There can’t be a fair fight if the balance of power lies with the bully.
