Gimme a Break!

On a somewhat more solemn note – (gimme a break) – an elder cautioned one of his young charges, “Lest you stray off into believing in some perfect refuge, just take note of this:  No one’s safe, even the past is buffeted by the yet-to-be.”  (Look, even though I didn’t say it, I’m still responsible for bringing you the story, so let me remind you that the above notion is non-sequential and impossible, and even beyond that, philosophically speaking – "gimme a break.")

The Redoubtable Cosmic Doctor sends this Medical Update:

“After a certain age, the intellect finds that each new day brings the possibility of a rottenness setting in, so watch it!”  (This is easily understood when you realize that while some internal parts, like man, within the overall body of life may be incrementally dying, the host structure can still be quite healthy and growing, thank you.)

Over in the Spectrum Split Sector, one gent with a faraway look in his eye told me confidentially, “If it proves correct that a final day of reckoning will come whereby man’s picture of justice and retribution is fully executed, I fear, mon ami, that we’re all in for a hard eternity."

Once the system had expanded to a certain point, capital (that is, the dominant powers) decided they needed an intermediary to deal directly with labor (that is, the submissive) and once this middle class, managerial mouthpiece was constructed, he was given his most important – in fact his only – instructions:  To whatever any of the working subordinates ever say, he is to immediately reply, “This will never do.”

The way things stand presently, the people in the front ranks can’t stand to contemplate the possibility…(Do note, men call themselves “followers” of this god or that – followers – those who came after the gods…I don’t care if you are up front, think about it anyway.)
