Why All Gangsters Experience A Downfall

[@raulquindosmorales6819]

That is the hardest, most difficult discipline we humans have. Greed, once we have it all, we want it all.

[@Only1omer]

Yes greed is one hell of an emotion and so is jealousy

[@TheGoldenKnowledge]

Without a doubt man 😔 Just go to a casino to witness it's power

[@GameAlert0]

how u gonna want it all if you already have it all

[@raulquindosmorales6819]

@@GameAlert0 is an expression which represents greed. Greed always wants more without matter of what you have. So, the expression goes, once you have it all, you want it all, as in you want more

[@tracyhiggs2642]

Greed and jealous is 2 of the 7 deadly sins

[@seth_fitzgerald]

Ghost - Power - trying to control everything and made enemies with everyone who was in his circle. Tony - Scarface - was fueled by his addiction to his supply , he didn’t know who he was dealing with and he thinks nobody can stop him. Tommy - Peaky Blinders - he felt that anyone who opposed him or takes charge against him he thinks he’s gonna win without checking his emotions Lucas - American Gangster - his own rule came back to bite him in the ass and he was not aware of his true enemy was in the police force So to explain the 47th law of power: we all love these characters because they all came from nothing and they started all the way down at the bottom and they used their knowledge their intelligence they are brutality their aggressive behavior to get to their goal at the top, they became one of the most iconic gangster figures we all love and admire but their one problem is the FINISH LINE, The 47th law of power is simply explained stop just stop at the finish line when you plan your rise to the top when you plan to achieve your goal you must stop at the finish line once you have obtained a victory at your goal and once you have done all that you could do and that you can do and you see that there is nothing more or nothing else to accomplish you stop otherwise greed lust profit control can lead to paranoia which will lead to ruin.

It’s like when Bane beat the dog shit out of Batman & said “Victory has defeated you”.

[@TheGoldenKnowledge]

What a sick quote to sum up the video Kavi 🔥 💯 Like I said, victory can be the biggest gift and curse at the same time 🏆

[@lehampton1]

Prime example, Paul Castellano, boss of the Gambinos. He became boss and was so selfish and greedy he alienated underlings. It cost him his life.

[@MisterMoreno10457]

Is that why John Gotti whacked Paul?

[@lehampton1]

@@MisterMoreno10457 no Gotti instigated the hit against Paul as self preservation. But others like Sammy and Frank joined in due to Paul’s greed and alienation of the blue collar wing. They didn’t do it to save Gotti and his crew.

[@jondavis2032]

Great example !!! Also another good example is when Nicky Barnes posed on the front cover of Time Magazine as Mr. Untouchable !! That was the main downfall of him and his organization.

Ahhhh yes. The Power Paradox. Staring into the hollow void of power and studying this who obtain it sufficiently to obtain it yourself it tends to infect and tempt you to your own destruction. Why all Empires eventually fall.

[@TaigaXsenpai]

I think its also because crime life is still life where you are surrounded by enemies. Living in chaotic position like this is beyond control......

Yeah definitely Travis, it's like being trapped in a circle that continues to get tighter and tighter until you can't escape it ⭕️

[@NanaCodedl]

Factz being greedy is definitely a downfall staying humble/grateful is key. Don’t ever let victory make you think you are untouchable because at the end of the day you are still human like everybody else & can very well be touched/experience downfalls. Also once you let that stuff go to your head God will humble you.💯 I also don’t know why when ppl think they have power they think they can just treat anybody any kind of way & when stuff goes left for them they want sympathy from the same ppl they hurt 🤦🏽‍♀️

Let me just add another story for this law cz the exact same thing happened to Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo......Felix comes from nothing he starts his career as a cop as one of the bribed copes that protect a sinaloan gangster but he biulds an empire of marijuana out of Rafael Caro Quintero's weed by forming the federation by uniting all the plazas and forming a command chain- him being at the top then when the colombians fall into crisis due to high seizures through the carribean corridor ,Miguel who had already set up a much safer corridor by bribing the most powerful politicians including the minister of defense and uniting the plazas jumped to this oppurtunity and convinces the colombians to even cut him 50 of the coke that moves through Mexico. Miguel, according to the show_narcos Mexico is a very careful and calculative man and doesn't agree to the abduction of enrique camarena(a DEA agent who was after him for so long) but even when the mexican govt officials trick Rafael Caro Quintero into taking camarena ,Miguel turns crisis into an oppurtunity once again and uses the tapes from camarena's interrogation (the recordings had names of mexican officials involved with drug traffickers)to blackmail the commander who catches him fleeing. But Felix began to scale up after he secured his power by making the party win the election,as time passed arrogance got the better of him and the once rational man just became ambitious too ambitious as to not to think of the consequences of his actions. He lost the favor of the plaza bosses, even to the point where they tried to murder him,but once they knew he was vulnurable it was them who called the shots, made the deals in their favors,at some point he let the arellano Felix brothers(bosses of Tijuana) murder cochiloco(popular boss in sinaloa) ,this made him appeaar needy in the eyes of Tijuana and a coward who can't protect his plazas in the eyes of sinaloan. Miguel's madness continued he moved 70 tons over night,tipped the DEA to find 17 tons of colombian coke that belonged to Pacho(his supplier from cali cartel),had Hector palma's(the sinaloan drug Lord) family killed,claimed they were nobody without him,but his madness did not inspire fear but mistrust-all the bosses wanted him gone. Yes Felix had lost control over his emotions,he was no longer trafficking drugs he was cutting the colombians out of bussines. Finally the plaza bosses had had enough each plaza pulled out of his federation and he was arrested. ........................... The same thing happened to pablo escobar when he became too ambitious and run for the presidency of colombia. Before then only law enforcement knew pablo as a drug dealer he had a clean record and was constantly helping the poor building hospitals schools etc.He was pulling in more than 60 million dollars a day.But that did not seem to satisfy pablo he wanted to become the president,he went too far and he paid with his life.

Play chess as a hobby. Often I’ll have a few matches against equally or lesser skilled opponents. I feel nothing in my victories against them, no elevation, no great joy- nothing. In succession of victories each is like a step taken with my sense of balance undisturbed. Against such opponents even a loss merely inconveniences me emotionally. However… when I face a strong opponent the anticipation itself is exhilarating, the victory intoxicating and the aftermath DANGEROUS. After beating such an opponent I feel like a Chess God. I feel like Eddie from Limitless; anticipating all things, seeing all things and processing on a level beyond mere mortals capabilities… After such a feeling I’ve gone to lose as many as 20 online match in a row… back to back… each loss delivered by weaker players and peers. Each loss… a reminder that feeling has no place on the board. Mind this video’s advice.

[@alexman378]

Just watched Legend, and from the get go, I was thinking that all these stories ever end one way. Interesting that you came up with that video on the same hour I finished.

[@TheGoldenKnowledge]

Yeah it definitely is an interesting concept! There are loads of things we can learn from gangster characters, but it would be naive for me to not cover why they all inevitably crash and burn in the end 🔥 Hope you enjoyed the video Alex 💯

[@michaelwilliams853]

The problem, as I see it, is being ambitious is a limitless sky. There is no “enough” or “contentment”, only “more more more”. An ambitious person would have to abandon ambition and become more Stoic to be “successful “ and perhaps the REAL Lesson is to pursue only what one needs. An outstanding example of this is Flip Wilson. He maintained the same standard of living at his height of wealth and fame (1st Black with his own show and movies etc) that he maintained when he was not well known.

[@1977TA]

Another good video mate! I see this lesson so much in the real world. For example, you go to a casino and spend time on a slot machine. You get a few nice wins totalling up to $1500 so you keep playing because a voice in your mind asks "Why stop now?" This makes you think quitting while you are ahead will prevent you from getting more wins and if you keep playing you might even hit the jackpot. So you keep playing only this time you don't get as many wins as you did before and soon every pull of the lever results in a loss. You become desperate because you have lost half of what you won. Instead of quitting and talking home $750, you keep feeding the machine until all of your coins have been devoured resulting in your evening ending as a bust. This is a common scenario that plays out in casinos and is a good illustration of why it is important to quit while you are ahead.

[@TheGoldenKnowledge]

Thanks man! I 100% agree...greed is one of the biggest causes of a person's downfall, and the casino is a prime example of it!

[@verticallipseat]

@1977TA EXACTLY! Just like that episode on The Twilight Zone! @The Golden Knowledge...this law reminds me of what happened to the late Notorious B.I.G.by going to California too soon. So true! #suscribed 1ØVË🤟🏾

[@CashTeam1]

Great vid but I disagree, Tommy Shelby didn’t have a choice in season 5 Oswald came to him. Using the billy boys to attacking business, so he had to do what he does best And Frank Lucas wasn’t flash his wife bought him the expensive jacket as a gift and his cousin snitched on him was the only reason he was caught. Ghost was killed by his own son which is messed up but he stopped drugs and was going legit, you can’t stop your own family from attacking you Only Tony Montana messed up the 47th law when he went to war with Sosa.

[@TheGoldenKnowledge]

Interesting insight you have! 🤔 My thoughts are Tommy put himself in that position when he decided to get into politics. Politics is probably the most darkest and murky game there is, and he may of underestimated what it took to succeed in that world. Even though Frank's wife bought him the jacket, it was HIS decision to wear it. He went against his own principles of being quiet and laying low, as he may of felt a sense of superiority because of his success. That one event put a lot of eyes on Frank Again with Ghost, similar to Tommy, he thought that he could just get away scott free without any consequences of his actions. The fact of him winning against so many enemies caused him to feel untouchable, espically from even his own family members Just a quick overview of how I view things 💭

[@ChattinBoxingWYB]

Can you do a video on Nino Brown please from New Jack City? His relationship between him and G-Money! N sleeping with his girl, which led to their fallout and their inevitable downfall.

Love this! You really are very talented❤️ But I do wonder though, what is the difference between settling for less and the fear of being greedy? We always hear that we should strive for the better and never stop... but in some cases you should stop?

[@DivaDivine88]

Thankfulness, gratefulness, and staying present in the moment.. knowing you could have nothing tomorrow and being okay with that.. Not tying you emotions or identity to your title or tangible things will keep you grounded.. and always remembering the Golden Rule: Treat others as you want to be treated.. For those who really deserve it of course 😏

[@Cellist31]

Great video!! Some other examples are Walter white, Gus Fring pretty much everyone on breaking bad and the entire police department on Power trying to take down Ghost. The commonality is they all kept pushing when they should have accepted and retreated. Thats so wild to me 😳
