Pantone

A friend of mine who used to call himself 'Charlie' is sitting before me outside a shopping mall drinking orange juice. "Why is it that we're always feeling as if we are about to collapse, and then we go on stronger than ever! Our society is built upon this, my friend. Nothing ever works around here. Nothing ever did! What keeps this country from falling apart? Our community is governed by corruption and lies, we suspect, hate and envy each other, the country is being run by complete imbecilles and yet there's always one man/woman in every corner who rescues us and gives us back our dignity, our hopes, the will to create and 'prosper'. It's conscience. In every randomly pick of, say, a hundred bastards there will always be at least one bastard with conscience. And even when he/she collapses, he/she will back next to start all over. This bloodline of people hidden in the obscurity of an office, a farm, a boat, a plane etc derives from ancient times to keep you in the right track when you stray and hold you tight when you're about to fall on your arse! Personally speaking, this is what fascinates me about human beings; no matter how bad things are there's always one to keep the head up for the rest of us..."
