It will beat you senseless and pile on like hungry dogs to keep you from ever getting up.  That aint cynicism, either.  Just true.  Wont be a matter of whats fair or right or expected.  Dont matter how rich you are, pretty you are, or how tough you had it growing up.
Nobody cares.  Nobody will help.

Everybody in this whole world gets pushed.  Tested.  Held to the fire.  They pick up stakes and head home.  Cry to mama.  Its easy to fold when youre staring down the barrel of something scary enough to make your bowels turn to water.  Quitting is easy.

Its what the Fat Cats expect.  The bullies, the landlords, the ass-kissing backstabbing middle-managers at whatever soul-destroying job you have to endure.  They all expect you to work within the system, even though its designed to work against you.  Shut up and lay down.  Take a fall.
These are stories about people who tasted canvas and got up.  People who took a few lumps and came back swinging.  Dont call them underdogs.
