Do you want to have glory from people? It is easy: do them favors! Agree with everyone. Say “no” to no one. To the one who tells you what is right, say “yes”; and to the one who tells you what is wrong, say “yes.” And then you become important to everyone and pleasing to all…
But then you are no longer a person. You have lost yourself. You are a chameleon that takes on the color of its surroundings. This is diabolical glory.
And today, you see—and always, but especially in our days—this kind of person is successful. The politician. The one who is involved in everything. He accommodates everyone. He manipulates everyone. He is a hypocrite.
