      From: andronicus451@gmail.com              In the movie "Spartacus" Peter Ustinov plays a character whom noble       patrititius rich man gives two       million sesterciums to deliver Varinia, Spartacus's wife and her child to       safety and freedom he bought for her as well, just to annoy and frustrate       plans of the wicked emperor.       Peter Ustinov is famous for the quote: "For such kind of money, I could bribe       Jupiter himself."       The reply was: "I have bribed him for less."              Indeed, when I reflect upon my life, it seems that it had favoured the ones       with money, like in my country,       likewise in post communist countries, but also in the West. And the life and       natural selection did not       ask about the origin of such money and whether it was made honestly and       righteously.              Women and girls assumed that the ones with money have the right genes they       wished to procreate,       despite dubious (or even criminal) means money was made with. A rich guy in       Croatia never has problems       with getting laid or married several times over.              The weak or ill person is automatically deprecated, made a "beta" male.              Even in the church, my contributions were frowned upon and questioned for the       right motives, but       tycoon ones never had. And the tycoons and rich people were blessed both in       this life and the next.       They appeared to have bribed even God Himself.              It seems that God had chosen to forget the origin of their wealth and the       means of acquisition if they       gave also to His causes and for the church and charity.              The righteous seem deprecated in the natural selection and can only procreate       less children and/or       indirectly, by converting some of the rich children in handsome cars to faith.              Tell me I'm wrong. I wasn't the only one who did not marry, but quite a few       guys who did not want to       sell - even if they were healthy, they were deprecated, as females chose       comfortable lives. They       would rather live as the third or second sponsored concubine than to be a       married wife to a poor guy       who did not have perspective.              It seems that I had to make a deal with God thinking that He owes me something       for my honesty,       but that wasn't true: He preferred rich people, too, no matter the origin of       the wealth. So did life, girls and women.              This is how it seems to me.              in the Lord       Amen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
