GET YOURS!

GET YOURS WHILE YOU CAN Those in between catch it from the left and right, from high and low. That's the price of being between. I have been in between. I still am in between on some things; but not so on other things, most gratefully . Take money for example: in church services, the rich man was scorned in scripture. It was even said that a camel could more easily squeeze through the eye of a needle than a rich man could get into heaven. That commentary was from the right. But the right has never failed to pass those collection plates to everyone assembled, rich, unrich together, all contributing as one! Or take the left side, the so-called "conscious" folks: these ones were busily decrying the capitalist pigs for being greedy, avaricious, petty, unethical , yet like the church, they did not hesitate to take pig money! The high look down on those who have little money, and the low look for opportunities to divest them of their money, however little it may be. So it is those in between who catch it, from high-low; left-right always . An attorney friend of mine once asked me, as we looked from my hotel window in the Bahamas, upon the azure Caribbean Seas, the following , after our legal seminar: "Larry, you are a bright lawyer. In fact, you are a brilliant lawyer. 'But, Larry, "How are you going to get paid?'"I soon burst out laughing when I recognized the simple magnitude of his plain inquiry, in the context of my then-black, socially-conscious, law practice! My advice to any people who are in "between" is to get yours, to supply yourself with enough cash, capital , property, resources, to enjoy life now and right now, while you can!
