"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

God alone can absolve at the moment of repentance; he is the searcher of hearts; but men can judge only by actions; and no one, after having lost the esteem of the world, has a right to complain of diffidence, which makes this loss so difficult to be repaired.

I would have you think above all, my dear young friend, that to lose this esteem, it is sometimes enough to seem to set little value upon it, and do not tax this severity with injustice; for as the world has a right to think that no one renounces this precious jewel, who has good pretensions to it, whoever is not restrained by this consideration, is on the brink of danger.

-- Dangerous Liaisons, letter 32

If someone, by judging his/her actions, seems not to worry about losing the esteem of the world or your esteem of him/her then you will know that he/she is most probably here for evil.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Which is why this man wasn't evil.

You didn't get it at all...

It's not about his perception of not losing his esteem of the world. Obviously mass murderers are not worried about that.
It's about your perception of him not being afraid of losing his esteem of the world. It's about qualifying him/her.

if a thing or person is against reality and the long term advancement of humankind, that thing or person is evil, by definition.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Depends on how you define advancement of humankind. Could altruism and pity be evil then? Helping those who are weak only provides resources to the weak and inferior at the expense of the strong. Then the weak are evil and we should execute them wholesale because their inferiority weakens the entire human race. Eugenics gave that argument.
Just saying...
Evil is an artificial construct, an arbitrary system of qualification. It is not quantifiable, it is relative, and based upon a complex system of morals which themselves are arbitrary.

Seems that on SS the number of posts before Godwin's Law is resolved is 1 as soon as somebody is reading about history. :)

But Nazis were not the subject of this thread.

World = your world
Evil = your ex, your boss, your wifey
Esteem = your definition of esteem
Dignity = your definition of dignity

It's as pointless as mainstream to try to make people judge history and reality with the same level of hate or love.

we all know that there's generic and there's individual definitions. Society itself is based upon that knowledge.
