Four Walls of Grandeur



I feel this is a very fitting piece to start ... an interesting work from one of the Guy Ritchie classics.. My fellow ignominious fool has added a few things... i found them strikingly correct!


"Have you ever observed a pack of cigarettes. All you need to know about life is retained within those four walls. You will notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur(like the wannabe IT professionals looking forward to their future IT job) - the gold packet of king size with a regal insignia, an attractive implication towards glamor and wealth; the subtle suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your royal and loyal friends, and that, my friend, is a lie. Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion (which are us, the experienced IT guys), written in boring bold black and white, it's a statement that these neat little soldiers of death are, in fact, trying to kill you and that, my friend, is the truth. Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and we are  addicted to the sweet pitch of its siren. That that starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet. That is why you and I hate this wonderful job and that is also why we cannot leave this f*&ing job. Now, where can I find a psychiatrist?"


Made me think..think and think...and I don't even smoke.....
