people like that don’t think others have ambitions or actually want to become something, because the majority of the fanatical followers and loyalists they surround themselves with don’t have those ambitions to begin with. so yours becomes inadmissible to them. on top of that, you’re just one in a large number of people, so you can be easily discarded no matter how good you are. I agree with you that they’re not good people. but our society has made it a norm to keep a litany of destitute followers who are good for nothing, to themselves and to society.

first of all, many people don’t understand that wealthy people can spot a beneficial talent from a mile away, and they are very good at poaching individuals amongst others to serve their own interests. conversely, or rather unfortunately, they don’t reciprocate that burning desire they had for you when it is time to reward you. at your lowest, you might eventually discover that that “elite” is just another user like any of these Nigerian girls. it might interest you to know that no influential or wealthy person is going to look out for you the way you think. more often than not, they give you a gentle, little nudge that tickles your fancy, and that is all you will ever get if you did not snap out of that delusion. people who are intentional about what they want around wealthy and influential people don’t get it as simply as people outside of that frame often think. there are two ways: it is either you are extremely fanatical, a lowlife, a praise singer, a soft-pedaler, or you are a thief. or you can use brute force to achieve your aims, be sneaky, cheat, a cynical cunning lore like them. there is no in between. there is no big reward anywhere. no wealthy or influential person will sign a check that will change your life without any political undertone to it. even at strictly business level, you are still going to get played. also, proximity to that wealth or influence doesn’t mean you wield it or have a say in what it does to you or people around you. you are just a pawn in a chess game, and there’s a master player. the day your desperation (ambition by the way) becomes known is the day you are thrown. you will be an ungrateful idiot. and those people like to throw the word loyalty around, that’s their ultimate weapon against any sensible person who has seen through their deception. your quest to get better or explore opportunities becomes a thing of questionable loyalty. it is as if they forget loyalty should be mutually beneficial, at least in my own opinion. that’s why, more often than not, people who make it big through these wealthy and influential figures tend to fall out with them. because they reached a certain level that the dark arts no longer work on them, and they can thrive just as well with or without those connections. mind you, such leverage was never in the plan. now, this doesn’t necessarily mean you are dealing with evil people. they are just better and more skilled than you in the dark arts of life. just do your thing, watch out for yourself. at best, you are going to be just like them too when you work your way up to the top.
