Those who helped me grow never praised me for my failure. In fact, the evil of my enemies helped me to grow if I could survive the crimes they did to me. Some things still scar me but what would be much worse is to accept praise for failure or weakness. My sensi told me to get up when I was humilated and brought down. He saw my kata and told me to do better. It was never about passing. It was about doing well. This is why I can fight but I still criticize my form after I win. It may seem impressive and flawless to onlookers but to me my stance was too narrow or my movement was too slow. Because of this I can get better. If I was told "good job" for bad form then I would never be able to improve. This is a poison that destroys people 2026. They can't read half of the time. They lie constantly because they were praised for lying. This is why the disease known as christianity is so rampant as they celebrate being sinners instead of trying to be good people. Sycophants have done this to the world. I am constantly tempted by vapid praise. People welcome me to their cults of hedonism, lies, and failure. I decline. They are impressed with me and they praise me but I don't want praise. I want people to be good people. I want the world to be a better place and unfortunately progress is condemned while sycophantism is glorified. We don't critical thought, progress, or wisdom glorified. We see empty false adoration glorified. We see lies glorified. We see the destruction and erasure of true honor. It is condemned by those who are unworthy to judge themselves in their fake power. This makes them all weak and easily manipulated if you simply appease their fragile, bloated egos. That's why bribery is so pervasive now in millitaries and governments around the woeld. The next time anyone praises you think on if they understand you, know you, or care about you. Think about how the world is really affected. Is it with fawning words or strong actions?
