Life’s more important than a living. So many people who make a living are making death, not life. Don’t ever join them. They’re the gravediggers of our civilization – The safe men. The compromisers. The moneymakers. The muddlers-through. Politics is full of them… so is businesses… so is the church. They’re popular. Successful. Some of them work hard, other are slack, but all of them could tell a good story. Never where there such charming gravediggers in the world’s history.
