"在一个由猪统治的国家里,所有的猪都在向上爬。"
— Hunter S. Thompson
Simplified Meaning:
In a place where bad or greedy people are in charge, other bad or greedy people will also do well and rise to the top. Think of a school where bullies run everything. If you're mean and push people around, you'll get more power and respect just like the bullies do. But if you're kind and fair, you'll get pushed aside because the bullies don't value those qualities. This idea shows that the culture and values of a group or society can shape who succeeds. If bad behavior is rewarded, more people will act badly to get ahead. To apply this thinking, if you want to change who succeeds, you have to change what behaviors are valued and rewarded in that place.
