[00:00:00]Machiavelli said, >> [music] >> "People are never sincerely grateful except out of necessity. They will use you >> [music] >> as long as you are useful."

[00:00:09]That's why you are alone.

[00:00:11]You don't understand. People are just selfish, and that's the cold [music] truth.

[00:00:18]The moment you stop giving, they stop [music] calling.

[00:00:22]The moment you're not beneficial, you're not even visible.

[00:00:26]Loyalty, it's a fantasy people preach but rarely practice. [music] Most connections today are built on utility, not respect, [music] not love, just leverage.

[00:00:39]You [music] might think you're surrounded by friends, but test it.

[00:00:42]Stop showing up.

[00:00:44]Go quiet.

[00:00:45]Watch how fast the silence gets louder than the praise ever was.

[00:00:49]>> [music] >> Machiavelli didn't say it to be bitter.

[00:00:52]He said it to be real.

[00:00:54]People need you until they don't. So, ask yourself, who still [music] shows up when you have nothing to offer?
