   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
