Fueling a Fire

In this cruel world full of insanity, fueled by selfishness and greed, you could lose your life if you want more than you need by burning in a bonfire of your vanity.

"from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs". First they want you average, then they want you normal, then they want you subservient due to your needs....go figure. Interesting write Lin..

I can’t figure out many things so I’ve decided to avoid vain people and let them gaze into a mirrored pool and watch the water ripple. Narcissists!
