Being smart

When one rallies others
for his own benefits,
for his own power,
for his own growth...

When one treats people
differently, snobbishly,
scornfully, treats them
below his level and his ego.

On occasions, those puppets
are the ones that will
control your fate,
your power,
even your life.

For knowing when to
give up, or at least to
tone down the greediness ,
is the step taken
only by the brightest.
