That's a question for a Magic 8 Ball or Ouija board, but I'll answer it anyway: No.

Wanna know why?

Actually, that's not true. Hateful people are ugly and unattractive. Anyone who treats others poorly will be a lovely and selfish lover. That is a fact.

Roald Dahl posted:

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

Yes, but I asked because this is a practical question and I want a practical, reasoned answer. A ouija board or magic 8 ball can't give me a practical answer, because ghosts and magic are known to be extremely hosed up and not reasonable at all. have you ever tried to reason with a ghost?

Money does not equate to happiness. You cannot buy wisdom. It has to be earned through struggle, pain, and misery. It sucks, but you have to endure it if you want to rise above your animal self and become a happy, self-confident, intelligent human being.

Don't answer a question with another question. Haven't you learned anything?

No picture for you.

Pictures are for winners.

I'm not going to tell you the answer now. LOL!!!

If the pillsbury doughboy got baked and became a breadman and then shoved lunchmeat between his asscheeks would that qualify as a sandwich

LESSON SIXTEEN: THE CONCEPT OF THE HIGH ECHELON WHOLLY SELF-MADE MAN IS A MYTH

And that's even if the person didn't have one heck of a head start like Trump or Musk did with their fathers. The presented narrative is "Work hard and you can achieve anything!" and the stories told are "This guy worked his rear end off and look at how much he succeeded!" The part that they never say is "Work hard...and network with as many people as possible, because it's connections that will nearly always play the biggest role besides working hard." I'm sure there's a rare exception or two, but if you're pointing to a rare exception among rare exceptions and claiming that can and will work for everyone, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

I do like the whole 'You can't cheat an honest man' idea, because every con's roots lie in the person being scammed thinking they're doing the scamming, that they're getting one up on the person presenting the scam. A wholly honest person generally won't want to do that, and hence they'll look at what's presented and go "Wait a minute..."

Here's how a person can be a genocidal psychopath and still be a "good" person. Think of life like the boardgame RISK with players and rules and winning conditions, except the rules say that the player who uses the pieces of a specific color is the hero and all the other colors are evil, and the hero wins the game by exterminating all the evil colors and the rules give him a poo poo ton of unfair advantages to make this a lot easier because he's the hero. The hero is still a good person even though his victims aren't truly evil, because the rules say he's good and those people are evil and the rules command the hero to win the game by cleansing the world of all evil.

Technically only the hero is allowed to break the rules but the other players should go ahead and break them anyway by beating the poo poo out of the hero because the only other option for them is death and the hero is his avatar.
