empathy

You think you understand people—how they tick, what they want. You’ve been trained to believe that empathy is the key to knowing them. But it's not. Empathy is a tool, just like any other. A means to an end. The real key is detachment, the ability to observe without feeling. You see, emotions? They cloud judgment. They make you weak. Your need to be understood, your desperate clinging to morality, it’s all just noise. The world doesn’t operate on kindness. It operates on outcomes.

So let me explain something to you. You think you’ve got this whole ‘human connection’ thing figured out, but what you fail to see is how predictable you all are. You want to be seen, you want to be heard, but only when it serves you. And when it doesn’t, you turn on each other, like wolves, pretending to be lambs. But here’s the truth: I don’t need your validation. I don’t need your approval. What I need is power. And power doesn’t come from pleasing others—it comes from using them.

So go ahead. Live in your world of feelings, where you pat yourselves on the back for your moral superiority. I’ll be over here, quietly moving forward, calculating, because I don’t need to play by your rules. And the moment you realize that is the moment you’ll be too far behind to catch up.
