Greetings, exalted ones.
Hard work, loyalty, and trust are required for a healthy relationship with just about anything. You want to draw faster than the legend, Preef Callo? That takes hard work, commitment with your said blaster, and enough trust in yourself when the situation arises that you'll need to whip out your pistols in the blink of an eye. The same goes for more traditional relationships such as being an employer or being a boss. Maybe, even, you're lucky enough to have a special someone by your side that you love indefinitely.
All require hard work, loyalty, and trust. Especially trust. If you cannot count of your boss to look out for their employees, I'd jump ship if you're able to. If you cannot count on your employees to look out for you, I think it's time you root out the weeds. If you cannot count of your significant other to look out for you, it's time you had a change of taste for less fishy foods. Trust is valuable, because with trust, you gain loyalty. Through loyalty you gain strength. And with that strength, you can run the galaxy.
Recently, the Great and Mighty Nor'baal has become the official ruler and Syndicate Boss over the Hutt Cartel. One of his first acts as such a leader of power, was to outlaw the killing of other Syndicate affiliated members. I am not entirely sure how well outlaws will listen to laws made by other outlaws, but the Hutts are usually taken seriously. However, this might just entice more violence and infighting among ourselves with that little tithe he says he requires. The next thing you know, we'll be killing each other to pay off a debt that this slug invented out of his own greed and selfish pride.
Luckily for me, I'm dead on Takodana somewhere, murdered by none other than Edin Frost. So I don't need to pay such lousy tributes. My thanks to Mister Frost for allowing such a pristine opportunity. Besides, the Syndicates are notorious for turning in on themselves. Norbs is not guilty of this. Take Ord Mantell and Black Sun, for example. Are they no longer apart of the Syndicates? Has Norbs made the Black Sun out to be as terrible as the notorious Zaa Fenn? All Norbs cares about his himself and his net worth. Not you or you home, or you family and your friends. Not even the other Syndicates. Norbs does what's best for him and only him, and I am ashamed for having used to be employed by such a horrendously smelling slug.
So, who can you trust in this galaxy? Well, you already know the answer to that. Friends are more valuable than any amount of credits. It sounds very cheesy, I'm aware, but it is true. Expand your own family and stick together. Show them trust and respect and they should show you the same. I have found the Pykes and the Consortium to be very fruitful in allies. They work together as a team and have everyone's backs so long as you have theirs. I would trust the likes of the latter two Syndicates opposed to the tyrannical Hutts.
Maybe, the only thing you can trust as the blaster at your side, and I get that. But trusting no one makes you as xenophobic as Nor'baal. The Hutts live a lonely life surrounded by assets instead of family and property instead of friends. Be better than that. Learn what to love and what to hate. And most importantly?
Learn to trust.
But, that's the way I heard it.
Xol, Will of the Thousands
