When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they will naturally want to side with the strong horse.
Picture of the now and forever:
** نموت وتحيا **
Five Tenets of the Eternal Creed
1. Thou art perpetually the victim. Thou shouldst whine about it.
2. Thou art entirely without blame. Thou must never apologise. Ever.
3. You can’t fool all the people all the time, but you have to at least try.
4. We know they know; they know we know they know. Hopefully it doesn’t go any further than that, otherwise some uncomfortable questions might be asked.
5. There is no difficulty that cannot be overcome by doing the exact same thing that got you backed into a corner in the first place.
