Growing up, we knew nothing about emotions. They were these things you have to stuff down into the recesses of your being. There were other times I’d experienced angry people, and I said to myself that I never want to be like that person. I never want to be angry or hurt. I made a judgment, where I said, I never want to be angry because angry people are wrong. They hurt people.
Because of that belief system, I then became a nice guy. Believing that if I was nice enough, then maybe people will like me and the thing I learned as I got older is that nice people get run over. It wasn’t serving me to be nice. I learn that good people get laid and paid.
