Owners live off their lands,
Physicians live off the sick,
Merchants live off their customers,
And the learned live off the fools.
Thieves live off the negligent
Beggars live off the households
Prostitutes live off pleasure seekers
And the workers live off the whole world.
Priests live off the believers,
Teachers live off the students,
Heros live off their fans,
And the religious live off their gods.
Governments live off the tax-payers,
Lawyers live off the criminals,
Police live off the laws,
And the good live off the bad.
Politicians live off impractical promises,
People live off believing them,
Democracies live off mafia style,
And the present live off the past.
About the Author
Dr. K. Raja Gopal Reddy is a seasoned internationally qualified Insurance professional.
What you are reading here, may not answer all the questions we have, but has the absolute power of asking unsettling questions which increase the interest in the strange world, and show the contradictory wonders lying just below the surface of the commonest things of life. Look at this disturbing but beautiful thought of Friedrich Nietzsche “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him”.
