[hometext] => forgive me.I am drunk
[bodytext] => The money game. a means to make up for the obvious, gleefully lacking subtlety. Walking the tight-rope of social acceptance. Aiming for class or giving people (who have what you want) what they want and to hell with the rest. Beauty has some value as long as beauty takes part. The money game breeds confidence for those who can play. Those who can't? they practise being nice or, they judge. But they don't get through the doors. The money game provides a bubble, a blanket. Insulation from the others- those who apply effort to survive and yet still struggle. The money game tells you that you are better because you have more whether you deserve this status, or not. All take part in some way or other, as long as they are above someone else- at least for some of the time. We all lose an aspect of ourselves and we all ignore the best of others but to play the money game well you must take, and give with a smile.
