"Dauntless Power" When you're in a position of power or notoriety or you air any sort of boundless confidence, you gain enemies that have never met your person, only your legend or story. Power, no matter the walk of life, in some form big or small, is the sweetest tool that anyone can envy or dream of attaining. The power upon you was made because of the legend and lessons you left. But it will always be paralleled by some unsubstantiated absurd or paradoxical story conjured up by the envious. You've been told: "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer." Better to show no mercy on your enemies so the tempted become fearful. Close, enemies are like untended weeds, the number of which keeps growing until you have to prioritize what is worse. "Forgive but never forget," leaving you always prepared for betrayal and mocked as paranoid by outsiders to the position of power. Anything that has attained power, notoriety or boundless secured confidence, realizes it does not matter if you came from the same mother. If they are close to you and don't have the mental capacity to play the game to attain power, they will become envious, they will try to sabotage your reputation and try to secretly become your opposition. Because they're so blinded by ignorance they'll motivate themselves to take further and further action against you with the belief that when you fall they will be heir to your power. That is their folly. In reality they are putting themselves in a position to simply be a puppet or tool for your possible abolishment, for the next possible power. If the reining power doesn't fall they become nothing or just a pebble on a dirt road. They create themselves into a fool and then are left behind as such. The reining power must remain cautious, wise and never head strong, don't break or you will fall and then it will be you who is inflicted by the green eyed monster. Zac Pinette
