BRUTAL SUCCESS
John Steinbeck, a great American author, understands human nature. In his novel, Cannery Row, the character Doc speaks to his friend: “It has always seemed strange to me,” said Doc, “the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, egotism and self- interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first, they love the produce of the second.” From Cannery Row, by John Steinbeck
