Epiphany
I had a dream last night.
I had a dream that I lived in a world where I wasn’t surrounded by degenerates my whole life. I dreamt of a life where I didn’t need to grind everyday and a life where I wasn’t bored when I wasn’t grinding. In this dream, I could trust people and rely on friends.
When I use the word ‘friends’ I don’t mean those just looking to use me for my money. I’m talking about a world where all you have is your word and your word is good. And when I say ‘good’ I mean ‘true’. In this world promises are never broken and lies are never made.
In this society, you are not laughed at for not having money and you are not ridiculed for being successful. In other words, you are not judged upon by the size of your bankroll.
I had a dream where people worked together to reach a common goal. These people believed in helping each other to further themselves as a group. They also worked towards their own careers and enjoyed the simple things in life like a Friday afternoon or sleeping in on Saturday mornings.

I feel like this is the end of part 1 of a 2 part episode.

I had this same wet dream. Unfortunately I have very few skillz and am therefore trapped by poker and destined to mix with the inevitable scum that dominate the industry.
My plan is to limit my exposure to the people you speak of, to the point where I will become a hermit if I have to, dealing only with the outside world through a complex system of trusted emissaries of some kind - similar to the system a Mafia Don might use but not to avoid criminal prosecution but to preserve my sanity.
“Eradicate exposure to human contact to preserve one’s faith in humanity” is how a friend of mine put it…
