Subject: Why does Mr. Sherman persecute the Great Ed Dolan?
|
Gentlemen, I attribute Mr. Sherman's contemptuous behavior toward the Great
Ed Dolan as based on nothing other than envy. He cannot be Great like Me -
and so he strives to see how small he can be.
Mr. Sherman pursued an engineering degree while at college and became a
civil engineer whereas the Great Ed Dolan pursued a liberal arts degree
which prepared him for nothing and so he lived a life of idleness which is
what a liberal arts degree best suits one for. Mr. Sherman is a working
drudge and so of course he envies a free spirit like Myself. He has spent
his life trying to figure out how to make things work so they don't collapse
and kill hundreds of people whereas I have spent my life listening to the
works of Beethoven. Now you begin to see the difference between us!
Well, not everyone in this world is fortunate enough get a liberal arts
education like I did. After all, I suppose someone has got to do the work of
the world. There are ants and grasshoppers and I thank God every day that I
turned out to be a grasshopper and not an ant like Mr. Sherman.

Would it not have improved Mr. Ed Dolan's personality if he had been
faced with the choice of work or starvation? He would have been forced
to get along with others.
Most do not choose to work, but are forced into it by the
circumstances. It is only those who inherit wealth that can choose
idle, unproductive, parasitic sloth, and its attendant moral
degradation.

Yea, been there and done that! But screw it all the way to hell and back! It
is better to live as a poor but free man than to be subservient to masters
like Mr. Sherman is. He is a civil engineer who is ever at the beck and call
of his superiors. He does not have a clue about what life is about. That is
ever the fate of ants like him. Only us grasshoppers know what life is
about.

Here you see how Mr. Sherman envies me. Hell Bells, I don't not blame him. I
envy Myself too.
But what is this shit about moral degradation? Hells Bells, I am the holiest
person I know!
The secret to a life that is worth living is to never obligate yourself to
anyone else, and certainly not to society at large. That is an abstraction
which does not really exist. Nay, go for individual realization however you
can get it (short of becoming a criminal of course).
Here is the bottom line for all such as Mr. Sherman:
"Once I wasn't, Then I was, Now I ain't again."
- Epitaph found on tombstone in Ohio graveyard
It will not matter in the slightest what Mr. Sherman thinks he is
accomplishing in this world. He is doomed to oblivion the same as any other
creature who has ever lived. If he is not having some fun, then he is a
failure.

Where is $kip $herrod? Ed Dolan inadvertently makes the argument
against inheriting enough wealth to live (however meagerly) off of
without working.
Whatever happened to the work ethic in this country?

It is very easy to live off of meager inherited wealth if you are of a
frugal nature. Most Americans however are not familiar with frugality in any
of its many manifestations. Nay, they want to get ried and have children
and buy houses and cars and live the so-called good life. Well Hells Bells,
if you want to do all that, it means you will have to work like a slave all
of your life.
> Whatever happened to the work ethic in this country?
I have always hated work and the god damn work ethic even when it was highly
regarded by most folks in my long lost youth. Well, you are either a
grasshopper like Ed Dolan who likes to frolic in the summer sun or you are
an ant like Mr. Sherman who is always preparing for the winter night. I
chose leisure, he chose work. It is very difficult to say which path leads
to the greater happiness.
