The "rich" and "famous"

You ever wonder how it is, that the rich and famous are always admired and revered by society, and further riches heaped upon their heads at every opportunity (moved to the front of the line, given the best tables, showered with gifts, adoration, and kisses, etc.), while the poor and unknown are usually reviled and persecuted by society, and the little they have taken away at every opportunity?

(No? I did once...)

There's a reason, you know, and it has nothing to do with religion, spirituality, or man's inhumanity to man, or other similar dumb ideas. It's an example, graphic and quite "in-everybody's-faces" (so it can't be missed, except by the dense**), of what goes on in the mind of certain individuals (here and there), who have started Thinking for themselves (exploring the inner worlds).

You have to have some gold to make gold. And if you have none, then the little bit of whatever it is you do have, will be taken from you.

Such is life.
Suck it up.
Quit complaining.
Get out of the house more often. (hint, hint...)

** the definition of dense: taking anything someone ELSE says personally, or "taking offense".
