In the movie Batman there is a scene where Bane appears and is arguing with the CEO of a large corporation. The CEO abuses his power by talking down to Bane. Knowing Bane is not a man of many words bane simply tells the other man in the room to leave them to speak in private. Upon realizing that he has crossed the line the CEO tells Bane "But I have given you lots of money" Bane simply asks " And that gives you power over me?" This small statement speaks monumentally to those who claim Civilized Savagery. We are not moved by the money of rich men.
In all my years of life I have known my worth and not once have I put a monetary price on myself because I am priceless. My soul cannot be bought and seeing as slavery has been over anyone who goes to cross that line is sure to face a truly painful experience. Its a hard lesson in humbleness. I will not bow to men who have money and I will never bow for money. If that was the case LYMLIFE would have been popular by now. We would have sold stock and our souls to this thing people claim "Illuminati" whenever someone reaches a certain level of fame. My mother always told me I'm special as do many good mothers across the globe but you can only make this true if you carry the statement in mind on a daily basis. If you allow the petty nature of people in power who abuse it to change what your parents raised then you might as well let your mother eat her words for you have sold yourself short. People call me extreme because my mini revolutions are very absolute. They are only absolute because I do not fear the unknown. Men think because they sign my checks they own me. I would rather be a homeless man with a good heart than a wealthy man with no backbone. They think because I am employed by them they can tell me what my life is. They believe themselves demi-gods. I am here to say all men are created equal and as long as I live no man shall ever reign supreme over me. We either break bread as equals or you find some other kingdom to run. Call me socialist or a true Marxist and I will tell you I am neither. For once you allow yourself to put a label on me all the negativity that goes along with that label will be associated with me. Instead I am a savage of the civilized kind. I am a dreamer a LYMLifer who believes hard work and good deeds can carry me to the promise land. I am that which makes true evil shudder in its sleep.
I once met a man by the name of Ramen Kootala. A man who had seen the downside to working in the corporate world. We had many conversations on the caste system in India and the equality of man. Funniest thing Ramen told me was "Joshua you cry for the Untouchables but me and you are the Untouchables of the corporate world". That's when I realized they got me. They had caste me right under my own nose. So I started demanding the respect for both me and Ramen when any higher ups approached. We were not minions we were men and we must be treated properly. At the end of my internship Ramen told me "Joshua You are a good man and to keep fighting the good fight, never give up". Those words have never left my thoughts not for one day. I will continue to fight this fight because there are many hardworking men and women who just don't have the energy to keep fighting. For them I continue to show the world that kings walk among you and they do not wear crowns or badges. They are just good men making their way through the waves of mislead, oppressed, and tired people out there. Trust in these men for they do not concern themselves with selfish pleasures of power. They seek to show you that you are what makes the world go round. Petty men are in power, they are the CEO's, owners, politicians, and managers. They forgot that without us they would have no job. Know your worth and never go on sale. Jump off the damn clearance rack and show me what you got. My one voice is not enough we must be each others echo. The moral of the the story is be good and your attitude will ripple through those you interact with. Until next time keep it LYM....
