The only way to achieve anything genuine is to not follow the crowd and come up with something creatively original. With that dramatically simple statement, I start this article off. The greatest dreamers that ultimately got "somewhere", started off seemingly insane, "nuts" or worse and ended up prophets of reality that won everything right down to the invention and patenting of the electric light bulb, motor car, wireless cell phone and forever beyond creativity, simple or complex.
So, we all love to win, even the best and worst of us. Who loves to pay genuinely at all creative costs for what they win though? That is why the very concept of cheating exists as a reality in the minds of most people. "Follow the crowd, steal what you can and get it 'all' quick and easy without the work" is the subliminal reality presented to us all in society.
The underlying genuine reality still remains there, though. To win you must journey the full journey of the originator ultimately, whatever the temporary disappointments to really get the real goal. All cheating leads to false escapes and disappointments that are permanent in that sense anyway. In that sense, I can honestly, and factually say that only the weakest people are genuine cheaters and the strongest people create value from the ground up regardless of what others, including the cheaters may do. Violent losing always comes down to a gun shot or a first fist raised in violence. Genuine triumph always comes down to creativity and rational self-defense from the ground up in a genuinely working way that creates and preserves instead of destroys and steals. Indeed, initiating violence and destruction for gain is the ultimate form of cheating and if we are destructive in that way destruction will ultimately and genuinely end us.
Nobody is a winner who cheats with the destructive essence of cheating and full understanding of it. The real achievement is essentially being creative realistically, not trying to escape responsibility through stealing or cheating. So, at the end of this article, I quote one of my favorite Dan Penn/Wallace Daniel Pennington and Lincoln Wayne "Chips" Moman songs, "The Dark End Of The Street" with an understanding context that lays the reality there for all to see clearly as a wonderfully honest metaphor:
At the dark end of the street,That's where we always meet.
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong,
Living in darkness to hide our wrong.
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me.
I know time is gonna take its toll
We're have pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
Oh but our love keeps coming on strong
Steal away, to the dark end of the street,
They're gonna find us,
They're gonna find us,
They're gonna find us, oh someday
You and me, at the dark end of the street
You and me.
And when the daylight hour rolls around
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh darling, please don't cry
Tonight we'll meet
At the dark end of the street.
