Thinkers And Workers

There are fundamentally two types of activities:
1. Working with people and things - ie, 'Working'
2. Working with ideas and information - ie, 'Thinking'
1% of humans are thinkers and 99% of humans are workers. The job of thinkers is to supply ideas. The job of workers is to implement those ideas.

This is the most fundamental division of labour in society. A society/country prospers when it gets this division of labour right. And it decays when it gets this division of labour wrong.

HOW IS YOUR LIFE?

1. "I am where I should be."

2. "I am going where I should be."
Status = Good
3. "I'm in the wrong place, but I have a way out."
Status = Average
4. "I'm in the wrong place, and I have no way out."
Status = Perfect. Because you are experiencing life in all its glory, beauty, intensity and madness . . . ! ;-)

Society/System: Sheep & Wolves - 2

99% of people live in the system called society. They are the sheep. 1% of people run the system called society. They are the wolves.

For the system to run properly, the sheep must follow some rules: don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, don't kill. In order to run the system properly, the wolves must lie, cheat, steal and kill.

For the wolves, there is only one rule: don't get caught. Every now and then, a foolish wolf gets caught. Then the other wolves throw him to the sheep. The sheep stamp the foolish wolf and kill him. Then both the sheep and the wolves go about living their lives and performing their functions. And the system keeps running . . .
