Monologue Of Pedro

Any man is capable of anything he puts his mind to, the power of the mind is stronger than any medicine, steroid, or therapy. It is not said that no man can be trusted, but every man should in fact hold his own life. Putting a healthy life in the hands of another, even a doctor, can put that life at risk. Doctors cut the wrong vein, husbands beat their wives and friends turn into foes. No betrayal is lesser than the other no matter the outcome. Men are selfish and will look for self benefit before risking their lives.

As they say, “it’s a dog-eat-dog world, every man for himself.” whether its working toward a promotion or working toward a degree- there is always competition and nobody will ever let another man make them second best.
