The Problem with Posing

One of the dumbest things to do in life is try to be something and one you’re simply not. For one that is one way to get in a position you’ll either spin your wheels never really going anywhere, trafficked, murdered, or anything else depending on the situation. Trying to run with people you aren’t of their element or people really is the dumbest thing anyone can do. There is such a thing as staying in whatever it is you actually are. Example you see this with people usually young people or just really stupid beings that try to be “gangster” came from middle class/upper class homes, white bread, etc knowing nothing about the rules or lifestyle of that then they end up dead, mess around and finding out as they say, or something along those lines. Of course places like social media feed that dysfunctional stupidity where people try to live up to something they saw on social media, what someone else is or into, or what was peddled in the media. It’s goofy stupidity honestly. Or those who go around trying to fraudulently or half know anything about how corporate, professionalism, or even basic cognitive ability operates trying to front like they’re some corporate savvy professional person they really aren’t. If they ever stepped foot in an actual board room or space with actual professionals they’d have no idea what to do it would be way over their head — same with networking among real professionals etc they don’t know how to act basically. That is why a lot of people don’t have any factual numbers in those cases because they haven’t created any. They’re trying to be something without educating themselves on any actual corporate or business knowledge nor etiquette. Human Rights same thing we encounter a lot of people who are keyboard warriors at most but if they were dropped in the middle of a Trafficking or War Torn area they would be paralyzed in their lack of knowledge or experience on what to do. They would be the type of ignorance to walk into a trap house with 0 sense or training (trust me it’s happened before not often but it’s happened.) Yes there are people that dumb by choice and have that little amount of common sense. Those are usually the types to talk way too much and make way too much noise. Let’s put it this way people like myself have witnessed people attempt to mimic what trained professionals if not survivor leaders were doing on the street without actually learning the logistics or sensibilities of it. As a result they were nearly shot in the head by a pimp, pimp circled, or thrown into their vehicle. Those are examples what happens when you pose as something you’re just not.

Being a pseudo anything is a piteous existence anyway. Who would want to not be what they are anyway? If you’re going to claim to be something then actually be of it, act like it, etc otherwise that is goofy train wreck clownishness that will probably at some point end up paying for the lack of education and chosen stupidity to be blunt about it. Basically I liken posing to a yapping dog with no real substantial bite. There is a known saying that goes like this,

“Those who claim to know everything actually know nothing.”
