When the mermaid cry, the tear will become the pearl

Another "based on a true story, bro" addition to the book. Don't sell yourself into a game that you don't even know how to play. Politics isn't what you think. It isn't about good causes. It's about everyone screwing each other over. As a businessman, there is only one thing you need to remember: don't walk through that door. Politics is a place where: Everyone's a tool. Everyone's a pawn. Everyone's disposable. If you are good, if you are competent, you stay the hell out - because as soon as you step in, you are not in control. It's no longer a question of your knowledge, your achievements, your principles, it's now all about who can use you, when, and how. The more you desire to be liked, the more easy you are to manipulate. That desire to please is your downfall. Politics is not for a man who is emotionally unbalanced, for a man who has spent years in therapy trying to deal with the damage he has done - to others, to his own family, to himself. For a man who portrays himself to the world as the successful man while he is disintegrating internally. "We will rise again." Yessiree, sure enough. Maybe the thousand dead animals murdered will be brought back to life if you continue posting enough damn Bible verses on social media. It may get even worse, though - because hypocrisy never takes eternality. After that "good family man" aura is deconstructed, maybe with the help of a disgruntled former paramour who's willing to share the real scoop, the former-famous farm hero won't be anything other than an emasculated, reviled ruin.

The study demonstrates that both long COVID and ME/CFS patients exhibit similarly impaired endothelial function, indicating potential vascular involvement in the pathogenesis of these post-viral illnesses. The significant reduction in flow-mediated dilation values suggests an increased cardiovascular risk in these populations, warranting careful monitoring and the development of targeted interventions to improve endothelial function and mitigate long-term health implications.
