Arrogant people usually triumph:
Loud and overconfident people win out over shy
people, even when shy people are right. In a fair and reasonable world, truth
would be compelling in some obvious way. It's not. Usually the humble and
correct person is passed over for the charismatic, brash dolt. Political
debates are only the most obvious example, wherein excellent policy suggestions
go ignored when louder and more authoritative claims ride roughshod over them.
And while we're on the subject, is it really fair that taller people seem more
convincing than their shorter rivals? ~ Stephen

Romantic life is not fair:

You
rarely (almost never) marry the love of your life. Someone else gets the girl
(or guy) of your dreams. We never seem to get what we deserve, and we rarely
deserve what we get. On top of this unfair truth comes the almost mean-spirited
design of romance that makes the most dangerous and exciting qualities for
sexual attraction the exact worst qualities for long-term parenting
partnerships. ~ Stephen T.

“For now I need your
hidden love/
I’m cold as a new razor blade/
I’m cold as a new razor blade/
You left when I told you I was
curious/
I never said that I was brave.”
I never said that I was brave.”
