War is Kind - Pixie Dust - 04-19-2018
The trees in the garden rained flowers.
Children ran there joyously.
They gathered the flowers
Each to himself.
Now there were some
Who gathered great heaps --
Having opportunity and skill --
Until, behold, only chance blossoms
Remained for the feeble.
Then a little spindling tutor
Ran importantly to the father, crying:
"Pray, come hither!
See this unjust thing in your garden!"
But when the father had surveyed,
He admonished the tutor:
"Not so, small sage!
This thing is just.
For, look you,
Are not they who possess the flowers
Stronger, bolder, shrewder
Than they who have none?
Why should the strong --
The beautiful strong --
Why should they not have the flowers?"
Upon reflection, the tutor bowed to the ground,
"My lord," he said,
"The stars are displaced
By this towering wisdom."
by Stephen Crane
...
Why should the stronger, bolder, and shrewder not have the flowers? <3

I think the totality of the world needs a certain balance. The lucky. talented, gifted, strong, whatever, all should apply these benefits to the totality. We all have things we are good at. If everyone shared what we had then there would a little of everything for everyone.

Yes, and everyone does get a flower or few. The exception to the rule are for those who display an affinity of love for all. Those who work on a larger scale receive heaps of flowers because they've proven they are forward thinkers interested in helping humanity.
