Dec. 11th, 2013 09:01 pmA surprising number of my thinky thoughts get prompted by what comes up on my randomplay (which at the moment is a mix of soundtracks and instrumentals).
This time it was "If I Were A Rich Man". Just one line this time:

Yes, he would, actually. He'd have to work hard at being rich man. Oh, it wouldn't be back-breaking labour... but rich men tend to be obsessed with being rich. It takes all their mental energy. After all, that's how they got to be rich in the first place.
And if riches are what one values most, then there is no such thing as "rich enough". It never ends. It never satisfies.
