Intro
Quickly, what’s your favorite team? Got an answer, do you take pride being from a street or city? Did you serve or know someone who served? and are overly patriotic. These are small examples to cover the topic welcome to are pinpoints where we dissect the lies to spread the truth.

Have you ever had someone ask where you are from? Seems to me that’s another way of saying what set you from? This sentiment occurs over and over again no matter where you go.

Body
Republican vs Democrats another form of pride that goes nowhere. Remember when we used to just judge the politicians on how good they were now ironically you have to be on the red side or blue side. More pride that’s nonsensical. Now that football season is here don’t let a Chiefs or eagles fan catch you not rooting for their team.
How many times have we seen a football game fight break out? Come to think about it, remember Malik Scott the basketball player who got into a fight at the eagles game. The fans mock his friends death and chaos insulted more pride that’s nonsensical. Let’s not forget the militaristic pride this by far is the sketchiest one. See I have respect for people who have served but sometimes they take it too far with their gestures and choice of words.

Conclusion
Have you ever had a former soldier walk up to you and start talking? They have hot button words that nobody understands. They start asking you if you have a grandfather who fought in Vietnam. It’s unbelievable. They never run out of words; they can talk more and faster than a preacher. It’s remarkable the gifts they possess. One guy said while serving I had to “embrace the suck” but my “little shadow” was a “blue falcon” we had a “foobar” because my team “fobbit” they weren’t ready oorah! I said okay now and I went into the store.
I tend not to judge too harshly because I understand everyone is different. I’m just making an analysis off what I see the jargon I hear is one of costal, sport, or gang pride. But I’ve come to find the conversation quite humorous at times. We all enjoy conversing from time to time. As always you remind me often there are good people in this world who have a great day.

I can remember it now so vividly in my old neighborhood seeing poverty and pain. I’d come from a two parent household for the first ten years but shortly after they separated I moved to a different side of town.
It was a half a mile away not too far well at least I thought until I started to go outside by myself. Now remember I grew up an only child so I didn’t have any sibling in my household to forewarn me about what I was about to see.
Unbignosed to me my are was one of the most dangerous areas in the town I was raised in so I was blue in a town full of wolves. I learned quickly never trust anyone or speak to them even if they smile in your face just wait patiently. See I’m not rude but I’ve seen people fake smile with someone only to hit them a few seconds afterwards.
I became a strategist I had to figure out how to survive because I was so small and knew a few people. So I planned when I was going to leave my home also I never went out at night on Saturdays because usually something bad happened. I also formed a small group of friends to help understand what was going on and make things happen for me.
As you can see I was quite mackavellian but I did take loses don’t get me wrong I have scars. But I kept them minimal I would later discover Robert Greenes 33 strategies of war that encourage some strategies I was already using but it added more tricks to my arsenal.
I had a mentor I never knew existed. I read some of his other books but I try to stay in reality see I understand that basing my mind off someone else’s teachings is not a good thing. I read the book as a way to keep me from watching reality tv and other stuff that’s nonsensical. Till this day I have scenarios I have to maneuver around but hey don’t we all it’s just apart of life. As always you matter more than you think have a great day.
