I live in a concrete jungle and if you are not paying attention, your feet will get swept up from under you. Its metaphorically speaking, the general education here is that everyone should look out for themselves.
Thats the same education they will teach you and you will learn it well until you turn your back on your own people. And own people ain't black, its humanity, a feeling of togetherness, of being there for one another.
Vanity is an easy espoinage, people develop conspiracies just so they can look like their smarter than other people, even if it means death.
Welcome to your new religion.
