Certain jobs require that one is an immoral piece of filth. It's part of the unwritten job description, and there's no dissociating it from one's personal life. It's part of one's core being, ever-underlying one's psyche, and the people who do these jobs, no matter how genial and moral they present themselves to be, no matter how family-oriented or living they seem, are vicious scavengers. In fact, they use the guise of respectability and “normality” to fool everyone. Everything is an act. They will, say, make humble shows of generosity, sometimes even secretly, but will ensure everyone finds out about them and the goal is simple … to make themselves appear “human.” No matter how nice they seem, they're simply not to be trusted in any situation in which they can seek advantage, because they will, as they're inherently sociopathic, even without realizing it.
We're not talking about despicable jobs that people find themselves forced into to make ends meet, tearing at their souls. We're talking about jobs willingly pursued and accepted, taken by people who have no moral compass other than a prurient greed left over from infancy. The job requires constant manipulation that these people are already geared to. So what jobs are these jobs, you ask? Upper management in any large, overtly profit-oriented corporation. Studies have shown that, if you want to find a sociopath, look no further than corporate execs, especially in fields in which the actually value to society is highly questionable, like stock trading and finance. Behind the air of power, superficial glibness, professional demeanor, and even sheen of caring are cloying, insecure children who see people as things to own, to manipulate, ... and they will fuck you up if you give them the chance.
So, maybe think twice before you fall for that “BlackRock VP,” because the second you "disobey" things will get psychologically ruthless. The “charm” is learned, not real, and they’ve already told you exactly what they are with their choice of profession. It’s unavoidable. There is no true “heart of gold” to mine there. There is no heart at all, only learned responses, rote motions to go through. One cannot be a good person and do what they do. The two things are mutually exclusive. You mean nothing to them. If they seek you then you only serve some purpose for them. They're not "people" in the ordinary sense. They're power-seeking robots that gaslight for a living. But, of course, they will manipulate you into thinking otherwise, because that is what they do by nature. Seem too good to be true? It is. Fall for it, and live to rue the day. And if those are your “friends,” or romantic interests, you should reassess your own values, presuming you’re not a sociopath too. The Truth of a person is in their life choices, not their words.
