QuoteJust skating by was enough for me.

Loafers and the rich are in the same social class but just skating by is not the same thing as doing nothing.  A person can just skate by without feeling entitled, like the world owes them, just because they are a beautiful flower.  Someone just skating by is still contributing.  One still pulls their weight.

It is a garden of Eden sort of thing.  Eat from this tree, but not that one.  And most of what we do in life is indifferent without great consequence, so there are many trees from which to eat.

An example of eating from the wrong tree follows:

Today I arrived at work to learn that there had been a burglary in the store warehouse when the store was busy and everyone was in front at noon yesterday.  $6000.00 in merchandise taken by a crew of three.  One walked through the warehouse and opened our garage door and cameras show them walking the warehouse isles taking shit to a beater car in back. 

Later they came back after the excitement died down because they guessed correctly that there was not a new padlock on our back door yet.  That was about 4 pm and everyone was in front again.  The first time they used our own bolt-cutters to snap the padlock.  The bolt-cutters I have used to break the seal on a semi truck with, the motherfuckers.  It was a good day to have off. 

Now all the doors at work have locks and the garage door is barricaded by the forklift and pallets.  Cameras have the A-holes checking the door at 6 AM last night.

Scary shit because if someone gets in their way someone is going to be hurt.  In the last year the shoplifting problem has been huge, but this burglary is on a whole new level.

Relative to some, loafers and the rich are indeed special flowers.
