How the world works
The world is a place where after a good reconsideration of things happening around you, you might be convinced that it is good to join the gang of "Smart Guys".
The world is a pleasurable and a winning ground for the smart guys. Yeah, these smart guys are always the winners. They are the ones easily trusted and praised. They get the most rewards in any undertaking. They fuck the system they come across, dump it and move over to the next one. And guess what? Who pays for their sins? The dumb ass fellow who is trying to be decent and have refused to be Smart (Yeah, Deception, Inhumane Acts, Stealing and Pretence, that is what the world calls Smartness).
Yeah, the dumb fellow who is trying to remain loyal and faithful, what does he get? He only tries to console himself with the popular; "karma is a bitch or posterity will reward". However, are these things true? I really can't judge right now. But I'm beginning to lose faith in seeing anything getting better to favour those who are not the Smart Guys. Yeah, my grandma died all trying to be a good woman. This makes me wonder how and when posterity rewarded her.
When I have to face dishonour because the smart guy was smart enough to get what he wanted, what does it make me? ...... It makes me a dumb ass fellow!
And that is exactly how the world works!
Always Rewarding Deceivers and Pretenders, then making the loyal a scapegoat!
However, the real problem is this, will the dumb fellow develop a mind strong enough to join the Smart Guys? That is a question with a thousand answers.
Yet, we still have a few who still work for good; if it were not so, the whole world would have been consumed by the evil devices of con men.

@elyaque made this beautiful badge for me.
You know what I think it comes down to is guilt vs. self-acceptance. The ones you call "smart guys" who deceive others with their clever wiles are doing it without guilt. Meanwhile, many of the good people berate themselves for even the tiniest imperfection. None of us are perfect, so if we hold ourselves to such an impossible standard we will always feel undeserving. And this, alas, is the heart of it. We get the reward we expect to get!
The way the good person can have a life even better than the life the "smart guys" are having is to accept that they really are a good person doing their best and to feel deserving of good things coming to them without sacrifice. Too often people are taught that being good means to suffer and sacrifice. This teaching must be rejected for what it is, mental conditioning put in place to make working people servants of those in power without complaint.
I believe in life, you have to know how to strike a balance between being good and being smart.
Life is not all black and white; there are shades of grey everywhere. Like you said, only the smart survive and succeed. To be truly successful, find a formula that works for you and run with it.
My formula is this:
The good guy might see it as somewhat flawed and the smart guy might see it as not smart enough as I don't bring out all fangs to fight. But if it produces results, then I'm good to go.
You couldn't see the message between the lines in this post.
Thanks for reading anyways.
I believe I did. In my opinion you were trying to say that the bad/smart guys come in with their ways to mess things up and get away with it. While the good guys never get rewarded for their efforts and honesty.
I just shared my views, which is that in life you have to strike a balance between what is perceived as bad and what is actually good.
My feedback
I remember when I was given expo to use in one of my examination but I declined it... That's me been a dumb ass guy, lol
There are a lot of mirror to this post, each man in the mirror in this situation will Have a different look to show.
There are times when been a smart guy is the only option... But f*ck it.. This is life 😄😄
Well, I've to agree with you. Sometimes, it seems the good ones are the ones who suffer the most while the "smart ones" rock and rule the world.
I still believe in karma just like you rightly pointed out. Judging from my Christian background, the bible says "No sinner will go unpunished" while they dump the system and move on to the next, karma will surely catch up with them.
And sometimes, you can't really change who you are as a person. If you are good, then you are good although circumstances can make anyone change.
I usually don't bother my head with such things because I love my peace of mind. I wouldn't want to play smart to hurt anyone in the process. I prefer to play "good" and have my peace of mind.
It's sad, that is the society we found ourselves where everyone wants to join the winning side, but to what end?
Wonderful topic, we are in a world where dishonest politicians, swindlers, fraudsters are been celebrated ,infact it seems the reward for hard work is an illusion, we are now advice to work smart at times I use to be tempted to go astray when I see the affluence life this guys are living, some will even tell you the earth is what they can see, heaven is an illusion, well I stick to believe there is a judgement day and there is at most one God .

I sometimes feel that way but not attaching excess value to material things has helped me to remain focused and resolved to be the best I can be to everyone I come in contact with, without expecting anything in return.
We all have our little badness, managing it without letting it to be conspicous make us seem good.
One of my mottos is:
The world is full of con men but I don't believe in "if you can't beat them you join them", I rather run away. There is more to life than momentary material gains.
Just keep being you and keep Steeming.
How the world works, this is really thought provoking.
Actually, the world works the way the high jacks wants it to work, they get to the top by hook or crook and control all things to their own favour, making themselves gods over others. That is how the world works!
If men were God, this earth world have been bought over by the opoortuned wealthy greedy fellows and exile the average poor into Mars or Mercury, that is how the world works.
