Upright or Spineless? You choose. By Tarapalita
What does it mean to be upright in this life?
Well, it means not being spineless.
What does it mean to be spineless?
Being spineless means being utterly self-absorbed and giving in to any and all of your stories or desires.
Being spineless means being a bully, a bitch, a coward or a snitch…
It means playing the eternal victim or treading on others to get to some imagined top.
It means being the kind of person that people don’t respect.
