a parable for our times
Once there was a corporation. It was nothing but a tax break, a dodge. Then it convinced the humans who formed it to make it a real person. They did. An invisible nothingness became a being. With the obedience of the people who served it, it became larger than any human or group of humans. The corporation or Corp(se), as it began to be affectionately known among its intimates, took over the world. All humans were mere instruments of its will. A few humans did not serve the Corp(se). They followed their hearts and their hearts were strongholds of Spirit and Laughter and Love. The Corp(se) tried to ignore them, always pushing them aside. But the people persisted and would not go away. They followed Spirit, LifeForce, and knew the Corp(se) was doomed.

It's funny, George: I first read one of your lines as saying, "...affectionately known among its inmates..."

Hahahaha . . . Gary! Makes sense!
ReplyDelete"Corp(se)" is very clever, George. I can only hope, however, that your parable is not like some of the movies I watch on DVD where there are "alternate endings." Obviously, the ending you selected is the happy ending.
ReplyDeleteThe LifeForce always wins. The Corp(se) is doomed. That does not mean there won't be great suffering. There already is.
