The Men And Women You Meet

This World And The Next

I classify people in four categories:

A Skilled.
Totally practical people who live in the here and now, won’t read books.

B Scientists.
All round academics – who understand the abstract, but are also practical.

C Creatives.
Writers, artists, musicians and more.

D Heaven-seekers.
The most determined are the suicide bombers - the least determined are the waverers who follow different ideas each week and give away all their money.
Cults give newcomers questionnaires. Cults are seeking waverers who will give all their money to the cult. If the waverer has no money, they can give time, and spend their apprentice years starry-eyed, not knowing what the cult it about, but recruiting others.


A Skilled people are helpful when you want to get things done. I respect them. Useful and sensible.

B Scientists – I admire them. They can be tough on those in other categories.

C Creatives are the most fun. But often too other-worldly. Ask a creative writer, musician, or artist what he does for a living and he’ll insist 'I am a writer,' or composer, whatever, even if he makes no money from it.

D When the heaven seekers can’t tell the difference between fact and fiction they can be comical. Children shout at clowns to avoid what’s behind you but listen innocently and agog to stories.

Adult heaven seekers may be harmless people who rely on dreams and promises of heaven and hopes of winning the lottery and dreams.

The become dangerous when they disregard the feelings and safety of people in this world.
The sooner they leave the rest of us the better. Especially if you are trying to get something practical done, such as put u a tent, or make a five year plan for a pension scheme.
