A profoundly unjust world

The greatest disservice parents could do is cripple their children with "values". This world is a profoundly unjust place, as stories like this clearly show.

People who "do good" or are "innocent" are not any less likely to get screwed by life, and are perhaps worse off without a toolbelt of survivor skills such as being able to lie or shove women and children out of the way to get to the exit.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.

-James Bolivar DiGriz
