Evaluate People By What They Do, Not What They Say I Robert Greene

when you're young what irritates you

about humans and adults is how fake they

are how they pretend to be something

that they're not and when you're a kid

or your child or your teenager you see

through it you see they're faking it

they're putting up a front that's not

really who they are and it bothers you

makavelli just ripped that damn mask off

of people's faces and said this is the

human animal as it is they want Power he

was writing about great Christian

figures like the popes of Italy as if

they were Mafia Dawn as if they were

trying to gain power and he had this

idea which to this day I think about all

the time and influences my thoughts

called the effective truth the effective

truth is the truth of people is not in

what they say about themselves the pope

will say I am the representative

Christianity of Christ on Earth etc etc

but it doesn't mean anything look at

their actions their actions reveal the

effective truth of who they are of what

they are W and what they're doing
