I have a civic friend who has hung suspended in Wealth Bondage in a hierarchy of iron cages for his entire career, rising a little over time. He is now about half way up, with three cages dangling from his, and several from each of those three, down to the ones who dangle from a rope. His in turns hangs from a slightly larger cage, on up to Mistress Candidia, CEO of Wealth Bondage, in whose service is Perfect Freedom. She gets an open office on the penthouse suite, with a glass floor so she can keep an eye on progress against plan. My civic friend and I are out of touch, since his rank is so much higher than mine, but today a little slip of paper wafted down with a note from him "To Those it May Concern." One one side it said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." On the back it said, "Reform Wealth Bondage from within." I find that if I hold my breath and keep a positive thought, it transforms me, and the whole wall of cubicles begins to shimmer and sway as if unreal. It stays that way until I get some oxygen again. It is all about controlling your breathing.
Did she put in the glass floor, or did he put in the glass ceiling for the view? No, because he's a secular angel, hovering above you and making his message waft down to you: Reform Wealth Bondage from Within means change the motto to: Wealth Bondage: Spare some change if you want to see the world. This is pure poetry, words charged with charity, moderation, money, transformative philanthropy, a bit of self-interest--of course, we're all human--and seeing the other half, i.e., 99%, in order to study them. Deep breath now! Philanthropic Advisory is now Wise Counseling at the Speed of Light. Time to upgrade to motto 2.0.
