They are anything but wealthy
financially, thank God, they say
because they don’t know if they
could resist the accompanying
temptations. It’s the same with
jobs. They did okay, again they
say, but nothing to boast about
except, perhaps, for jobs well
done, which might be a lot to
brag about, if they were the brag-
ging types, which, because of
circumstances they are not, thank
God — again they think for the
same reason, that being pride,
big heads and delusions of gran-
deur which, invariably, attack
the one percent with a predict-
ability rating greater than that
of the predictability of the
extent of the bubonic plague,
but they didn’t have the internet
back then to help track the
rapid spread of that disease.
Still, effects of the diseases of
greed and hubris are always
no-brainers and one hundred
percent predictable. Some
just get lucky and are passed
over and saved by grace, like
the covenant children in Egypt.
