MeghaneMorgane:Read books. Keep a journal. Write into the future. Study mathematics. Read the works of Adams Smith. Take yourself swimming once you close early from work. Be hopeful that you will find a compatible partner and lo, one day it shall happen. But by then, you have learned to cope with aloneness through intellectual activities, such that when your partner is not available, you will be unperturbed.

When a man is obviously striving to attain a remarkable success, or when he is on his path to undeniable achievement, his peers mostly, and some others around him will begin to give him flattering and hypocritical attention from the very onset, when they are all not certain that this man will attain success. They hail him to the end of flattery because they think he will fail. But if this man be a man of steel-will who has resolved to win, and apparently, he begins to win, something strange will happen at this stage: those people who formerly hailed him and asked after his business as though they cared, will suddenly stop doing so; but this is out of a new jealously which they feel. Now they see that this man cannot be flattered because in the first place, he wasn’t flattering himself. These set of people will begin to envy his success, but these are the people who will achieve nothing remarkable themselves. There is another category whom instead of envying, will seek to work with this man or genuinely support him, not out of flattery or any form of hypocritical attention, but out of a goodwill and brotherhood. If the potential-achiever must rise fully, then he must sieve flatters from his associations. Deep down, they are the enemies of his success. But as it is that the achiever will grow mightily and the enemy, so minute, the enemy will eventually worship and revere the works of the achiever. All these happen because there is a desire in all men which is against the positive progress of his fellow, especially when the one who hates is not progressing himself. Most of your peers never want you to be better than they are. But to become better, you must ruthlessly severe your links to such people, when you detect any; because “getting better” is far from their genuine life goal. This entire phenomenon which has been analyzed above shall be called The Dark Polarity of Human Nature. It is ignorance at its highest altitude for a man to be negatively envious over the progress of other people. Know him not that for every achievement there were painful prices paid and he that is being envied has paid his duly? If the price is mentioned to the envious one, he may not be able to pay it even; maybe for a lack of capacity, ability or unwillingness. So why be envious? Find your own vocation instead, and by your own sheer ability, shine! |

No matter how unbearable or intolerable the circumstances, a young person who is not up to the age of forty-five years should not take his own life. The conflicts and depression he currently undergoes are energies which can be used to do work; and when such a work is done through his depressive moods or conflicts, he shall finally attain elevation and his works shall continue to speak long after he has gone – simply because it was done through a form of energy which is not merely ordinary. But having no understanding, the young person begins to seek elevation and elation in making friends and in the pursuit of pleasures. Woefully, he shall decline even the most. That one shall begin to get suicidal. The ideation will continue in the proportion to which the individual seeks external fulfillment, until suicide is completed. He who is depressed should seek less company. Drugs – stimulating or depressing should be entirely avoided, right from the thinking of it. Alcohol, shunned! He should, in his depression, find his work and begin to do it. Work, sleep, walk, read, and meditate on nothing, and you will begin to grow into happiness, but not assuredly. You may remain depressed and you must accept that that is your madness, and from that, you should do your greatest work. In fact, happiness shouldn’t be very much of your goal. Finding your work and doing it, is your goal. If at forty-five years old, you feel accomplished and tired of the whole of living, you can take your own life, but that should be less of an option. Your life as you have found it was not orchestrated by you. Why not live it in pain, sorrow or happiness, until a disease, an accident or age truncates it for you? Depression and every feeling of despair is a work energy which most people will never understand, even after reading this... |

If a man preaches sternly against a particular “vice,” it means that he is shackled by that very vice and he therefore speaks against it in bitter spirit because of the guilt that haunts him. By this theory which has been observed closely enough to be considered infallible, let no man trust a preacher neither should they have any confidence in him. The preacher is a singular compendium of struggles against the so many vices which entraps him. Preaching against them gives him a momentary sense of self-righteousness. But in his malady, he forgets that there is no man in the earth who is so good, and does not sin. The preacher, be it of morals, or whatever, is a senseless mad man. He may cultivate enough discipline to suppress and conceal his vices before men and be eventually thought as a “holy man,” but we live in a balanced universe of cosmos, without any form of chaos, therefore, his concealed and suppressed vices shall make a radical appearance in the lives of his children, without fail. Also, his contrived-holiness shall make a reversal in his children’s life. All theses shall be obvious. Know from now that holy men do not preach! They only love, and seek to understand, and probably be understood. They leave humans to live as they will, yet they end up bringing about spiritual or moral reforms, which was in the first place, never their ultimate goal. |

Are you a robber? Would you be successful in your vocation? Then never operate in terrains you are not familiar with. In every terrain of your operation, know at least four routes of escape. Also learn never to be afraid of your own footsteps, shadows and other imaginary forms. When you are almost trapped or eventually trapped, retain calmness. Calmness is a virtue which is spurring to the success of your career. Robbery is an expression of aggression; therefore, you must never embark on such a venture without possessing the tools of aggression. Even as you possess them, you must learn how to unleash aggression on any resistances that encounter you, by those tools, if you would operate successfully. Lastly, never be so certain that you won’t be caught. Rather, exercise yourself to be so certain that if you are caught, you must maintain your calm and be free from every form of fretting. |

Do you wish to avert an accident? Then envisage all the possibilities of its occurrence. Study to understand those possibilities in your thinking. When this is done, though accidents, as it is in their nature are not totally avoidable, the degree of severity of the envisioned and understood accidents will be definitely minimal. This is because, you have not only seen it but you have also devised ways to avert it. An accident foreseen can easily be managed as you will not be taken by uncertainty. A man errs if he prays that his life be free of accidents, sorrows, mishaps and other harsh realities. But a man begins to advance once he prays for strength to forebear accidents and losses. Sorrow deepens the soul. |

Life is a perfect order and there are no accidents. As a man learns to be grateful for his life and whatever befalls him, then his true evolution shall begin. Every man should be aware of his desires and also his prayers (consciously and unconsciously). No human is important. But those who will come to realize this shall become important in the eyes of other men. And how can this be realized? To realize this, a man must become genuinely inconsiderate about other men, such that he shall not have the capacity to feel remorse for his brutal actions. By this, he shall be feared. Humans can, and will always be held bond for a time long enough, by fear rather than by love. Therefore, there is a greater security in being feared than there is in being loved. Love profits nothing but definite disrespect of the supposed object of power. Fear yields respect and subjugation. Love may also emanate from fear, but whether love emanate from fear or not, is not important. The one for whom this doctrine is meant must learn that it is useless to be loved, but profitable to be feared. The one who can grasp and resonate with this doctrine must always know that he is the only one that matters whenever he is placed in relation to others. If he murders anyone, he should bring himself to the point of believing that he has merely crushed a louse. In truth and reality, he should feel no worse or better than he would when he crushes an actual louse. The possessor of power should never ever threaten anybody. If he is offended by another, he should only act in accordance with his drive for revenge, if at all he has the capacity to. But if he is too weak or incapacitated to act, he should keep quiet and let the matter die down. That is a better approach than threatening an offender or indulging in open altercations. In fact, open altercations are forbidden for anyone who possesses true power. If the other party runs his mouth, then he should keep his own mouth shut and instead, strategize a life-threatening attack upon the offender, else, he should let things be. It is always better to let the man who killed your mother go free than to threaten him. If you would not let him go, then decide his punishment. Render upon him at a time most appropriate for you. But never involve yourself in an altercation. Kill a man if you would, but desist from threats. |

Before thinking of what is right or wrong, moral or amoral, noble or ignoble; one should first of all think of what is advantageous and favorable, first, to oneself, then to a given whole. This “given whole” could be a community, a nation or neighbors. Selfishness is the rule of individual or human politics and it should properly be understood and utilized. Without being acceptably selfish, one cannot love others. Humans are framed to be selfish, and there should be no giving-up of oneself for another unless a man has had enough of himself. Who gives what he does not have? Materially, a man should be satisfied before he gives. Counter wise, would yield to undesired poverty, perpetual lack, and destitution. Yet a man may not have much but he gives. He gave because he was not in need of the object he gave and that is a right kind of giving. If you need a thing which you are aware that you need, never on any account give it out for altruistic reasons. No! Silently, consciously or subconsciously, you must regret such act. Give because you have enough and you wish to give. True altruism happens when a man has been brought to a state where he is in need of nothing. Therefore, such a man can give all, even to his own disadvantage. Altruism is a saintly act, and being a saint cannot be the goal of many people in this life. Not all will attain an altruistic state; hence no man should be ashamed of his selfish nature. Until it is understood and accepted that selfishness is a ruling entity, in fact, a driving one in the nature of humans, then hypocritical giving and acts will not be stopped. Hypocrisy can’t and won’t be minimized until a man has accepted his own hypocrisy. And there is no need to accept or even minimize it. But there is a great need never to tag others “hypocrites” in the spirit of an insult or condemnation unless you have first known that you are a hypocrite yourself. In fact, there should be no need for that word at all in our conversations. And beware of all those who preach against selfishness so ardently, for they are the chief advocates of selfish acts. If not for selfishness, why does it bother you that other people are being selfish? If not for selfishness, why then do you want others to do good to you, instead of otherwise? The high way to hell is paved with all the good intentions you want to do to other people. Do good, first, to yourself. When a man is becoming truly good, he becomes selfish. And such is the paradox of the life of essence and meaning. |

If you are sophisticated, never forget that you will encounter countless simpletons in your walk through life. Only learn to deal with them accordingly. To judge another or a thing through the eyes of one’s inexperience brings about misconceptions and a distorted view of life. A person like this will always be shocked by harsh reality. You cannot kill does not mean that your neighbor also cannot, won’t or has not killed. You can’t or you do not lie, and you won’t lie, but it does not mean that your neighbor won’t or can’t or, haven’t followed in those lines. If you are simple, be aware of your simplicity, but seek to broaden your perspective by insight. Seek and ask questions about what exists in reality. You ought to be curious to know the true and real nature of things beyond appearances. Every human is unique, so you have to deal with them accordingly. Even in their so-called simplicity and stupidity, they all got complexities. On people and their various natures: basically there are two kinds of nature relating to humans. Good and Evil. A good-natured person will always be good and cannot be corrupted, though they utilize the tool of evil. Evil to a good-natured person is only a tool, just as “good,” to an evil-natured person is also a tool. A good-natured man can use so-called “evil” such as killing or murder to bring about a good course (such as the murder of “true” evil people). An evil-natured man can use so-called “good,” such as charity, to win the heart, sympathy, and empathy of fellow men. Eventually, an evil man cannot become good no matter what religion or doctrine he adheres to. His adherence to those, are called “tooling,” which means utilizing the tool of “good.” Thieves are born. A man may steal, yet he is not a thief. He stole out of a true necessity. A thief is one who steals at all the times opportunity presents itself. The thief even goes out of his way to seek opportunities. When a man is in need of a particular thing and that thing presents itself, without him going out to seek it actively, the man should covet such property at once! It is not theft, but providential. It does not matter to whom it formerly belonged. Let it also be known that a good-natured being can become “evil” by habitual and perpetual utilization of the tool of evil and vice-versa. But it never means that he is evil-natured. |

It is better to go for the low and later be surprised by a highly behavior than to go for what appears high and be eventually surprised by lowly behavior. The latter, yields disappointment and brokenness of heart. The first brings about a form of joy which is as a result of being positively surprised. It is also perfect to go for what is low and get a lowly behavior. In this case, things are said to be in accord. Men fight for power in the manner that it satisfies their inherent insanity. To some, calling them a god or feeling godly, or assuming the position of a god would do for them. For such people, if their need to be deified is not met, they go off crazier than ever. The inner state of the mind or of anything else can be determined without fail, by its outward appearance. For every appearance is a reflection of an inward state. Vain adoration of the body, vain apparels and jewelries are all physical pointers to a vain mind. 1 Like |

SYNOPSIS My Small Book of Dark Philosophies is a collection of original thoughts which centers largely on pessimism, the psychology of human manipulation, an exploration of a darker part of humans and even of the author himself. It's definitely a good-read for soldiers, entrepreneurs, social workers and every other thing that parades itself as "human." Life is not worth living if it's not worth reading. NOTE: I will be posting random excerpts from the book, from time to time. IN MOST CASES, NEW PARAGRAPHS REPRESENTS NEW THOUGHT
