Pyramids at Panera

So we were at Panera Bread tonight and the people at the table next to us were discussing their "business" and the various perks they possess from this job. What is this company they were discussing you might wonder? It was one of those "get rich by practically doing nothing online pyramid scandels". Sorry to those that are a part of one of those or have been in the past, but I think they're stupid. Ok, maybe that was a bit harsh, but they're just so odd. I can't evene count the number of times that Joe has been "hit up" by various members of these groups. Apparently he has "sucker" written on his forehead or he just looks like a nice guy. Many of the times he has been approaced it has been while he's been waiting for me while I shop--maybe it is a sign that I shouldn't shop so much, nah that couldn't be! Seeing this group tonight brought on a conversation between us about how everyone in this world wants an easy way to live a fabulous life. Who wants to work for it? Everyone just wants a handout. I can't say that I'm any better than anyone else...I too wish for a perfect life full of "stuff". I too suffer from affluenza (i.e. the shopping comment made moments ago). How do we heal ourselves from this? When are we going to start comparing ourselves to those with less than us rather than those with more than us and how can we be a help to them, instead of always trying to help ourselves?!?
