A Wake-Up Call for US Liberals

36. Striving for success, competing and then reaping and keeping the rewards at any cost are common

attributes in the corporate world, the military and in sports. These qualities are also fundamental in many but not all societies, obviously. Pure alphas, to use a cliché, tend to have little respect or compassion for those who are less successful or weak as they perceive them. The reason they're on top. Only my observation but one from many years with relatives, coworkers, men, women, minorities, westerners and asians who act in a similar way for their own advantage.

I wish it wasn't the case, and there are many exceptions and individuals and groups who overcome anti-social behaviors thank God. For the most part, it's accepted that humans are an intelligent, but not very decent species sorry to say, recognizing that I may be jaded a bit esp. in these fairly nasty times. To put it another way, in essence they, the winners are brutal, sly, selfish and without conscience, like the little foxes.


'Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes". Lillian Hellman, 'The Little Foxes' and the Song of Solomon, the Bible.
