Once upon a time, a man was sentenced to death. As the noose was slipped tight around his neck, he was offered one final request. He knew exactly what he wanted, "Can I get this noose in designer colors?"
And that is how the necktie was created.

Hah! Funny. My cynical little brother.
ReplyDeleteWork is a good thing. Many a good men wear neck ties. Many a good neck tie wearing men do a heck of a lot of good for the world too. But~ you are onto something. We work for what? By the labor of our hands we can work to sustain ourselves. Many people work though in order to consume, consume, consume. The more we have the more we must work to earn it, care for it, and keep it. Perhaps, if we allowed ourselves to be satisfied with much less then we would have more time to enjoy it, use it, and share it.
The tie is not the problem. That which strangles us is our own pride, desire for power, and greed.
Love that your blogging again. Love it. Love it. Love it.
