I think you reap what you sow so sowing seeds of respect ultimately yields rewards in the form of blessings (can be tiny or ginormous). But matching reality wouldn’t yield a reward because it’d be sowing seeds of cruelty and/or deception. The world we live in is a cruel and wicked place. So matching reality wouldn’t yield a reward but instead condemnation. 

It’s an interesting question though because when you think of it from first principles then they’re both true. If you match the realities of life then you can be rewarded by nature for following the rules of nature. 

 Ya, I like the way you used first principle. 
I know in life that when I assessed an issue and saw it for what it was and applied an intervention I received favorable outcomes. 
It's for seeing your situation the way it is and then responding accordingly. It can even be applied for why we our Bitcoiners. We know the money is flawed and we sought for a solution then found one.  

 Ahhhh, I feel you!! I totally agree. Instead of being pissed and feeling hopeless I stacked sats. 

You gotta look at things the way they are and move accordingly. By that understanding you’re able to position yourself in a way to win. Very true 🦾🌻
