Moon's faces...









One shining quality lends a luster to another, or hides some glaring defect.
-William Hazlitt

When that chaos raises its fiery reins there are those who stand firm, driving their sword on the ground and holding to it. There are also those who, in an attempt to avoid being the target of the stern gaze of scrutiny, would stab one's hand and hold on to one's sword because they know it was planted well.
Some survive and thrive by being parasites to others. There are those who i call 'Moons' who can't shine with their own light, and their only desire is to take the credit for other's work. Consumed by low self esteem, their own inability to achieve things can only be hidden by acts of betrayal, lies, or by pointing fingers at others. A funny thing to watch is how much initiative they have whenever there's credit to be taken for something they didn't really do.

What makes this even worse is that when these 'moons' lose their brightness, they will need another scapegoat, another victim, another 'sun' whose light they must steal, and they will not rest until they get it.

Remember who you are, and work hard for what you want. Fight bravely, give your last ounce of strength and then bathe in the shining light of your achievement. Be watchful, wary, for there are those who live to steal your work, and will do so without hesitation, for that alone is the goal they fight hard for.

Lesson learned: "Your glory, little moons, is not eternal. Keep flying and shining above all those who you have wronged. Bask in the glory that's not yours, and dance to the songs of wolves but be warned...they don't sing to you, they sing to the light you stole, and when you fall, they'll tear you to shreds."
