Shortly after I first met them, something that I said upset them andperhaps we should have parted then. I was saying how important that theywere and what a fortune could be made if they would let me try. But I didnot understand why they took in and had to stand by those who were soworthless to them both. Then they got extremely angry, shouting that theseedy gang behind them may not have much value in my eyes...but they werepeople and were needing what we give and if you see them like you see someroaches on the floor, then the sad one must be you who sees himself as toogood to do something for the weak or ones with warts. You disdain andcriticize someone who has been compromised but really have no values ofyour own, so maybe you should leave and find some, steal or beg or maybebuy some from a smiling banker or a store. At first I was too shocked tobelieve they would suggest that I should levae, and what was even worsewas that I saw that they preferrred their gutter rutting friends above mysmugly strutting. And I admit it stunned and humbled me. So I begged andthen beseeched them, "
Let me stay and you could teach some sense into thistired old mind of mine." And of course we reconciled with hugging arms andtugging smiles that left me more secure, but still in doubt. I truly lovedand felt devotion for them both, but I was broken up and feeling powerlessinside. I must become important to them, intertwined with roots into them,or else I'd loose my false and newfound pride.--------------------------------------------------------------------------
