it's baffling

Post by saw » Yesterday, 11:18 am

let's say you were fabulously wealthy
had so much money you could never spend it all
you could live a life of luxury apart from any stresses
why then would you spend a single minute trying to harm the less fortunate
why in the world would you use precious time being hateful to others
that were not in any way impeding the your abilities to do whatever you want
what kind of mental illness is that ?
how can that happen to a mind when no external forces are causing a problem for you ?
It must be some kind of hidden decay, perhaps an autoimmune disease of the mind
maybe an unidentified virus, or bacterium. and possibly those liitle worms that got into RFK's brain
it's baffling to me

I would guess
that their toadies
those almost as filthy rich
the ones aspiring to it
but not there yet
might complain
that we, the unwashed,
the unworthy,
somehow stand in their way
and the gilded ones -
addicted to the adulation
of their worshipers
(or perhaps just because they can)
take pleasure in removing
such unsightly trash as us
to make their world
a little less sullied
by reality
.

if they keep this up
I could see food tasters coming back into the picture
because it won't be safe for them to wine and dine
