You! I shall cast ye out into the barren wasteland to lie forlorn and forgotten for all your remaining days. You shall gather layer upon layer of dust, and you shall never again walk the sun-dappled, fertile ground of my thought or consideration. You are soon to be but a mere mote in the furthest, darkest crevice of my memory. You are beyond reach. Now slink or slither to your eternal hidey-hole and let not another word, thought, or deed traverse the boundary herein laid down. You! Whoever You May Now Be! Be Gone!

And You! I shall condemn ye to a Lifetime of harsh judgment, unjust summary, and perpetual punishment. You shall tremble, cower, and wither, in angst and fear, beneath the abuse. Yet, and though, yea verily, you shall also be blessed by my intermittent attention, and by my efforts to harden you to the realities of your largely insignificant existence. And you shall ultimately be grateful for the lessons learned at my cruel hand. You are fortunate. Now Bow! And Back Away! Eyes Down! Be Gone! Out of my sight, but within the sound of my command.

And You! I shall keep ye at my beck and call, for my amusement. You shall cavort, and carry on, and be always spritely; and you shall enjoy my lively banter, my humorous recollections, and my cheery and sunny disposition. You shall gather others of like ilk, as is prescribed and necessary, for my further amusement. You shall guard against and steer me from excessive melancholy, and you shall instinctively know the most opportune moment in which to pull me back from this brink. Now Go! And Sing! And Dance! And Forever and Always, Be the Fool!

And You! I shall call on ye to manage my affairs. You shall count my Gold, and you shall multiply my Gold, and you shall regularly report my new Gold. You shall always strictly adhere to all verbal, written, and implied policies, procedures, rules, and regulations, and you shall never question said policies, procedures, rules, and regulations. You shall never question my ability or my authority. You shall always maintain an even temperament, and you shall never succumb to any temptation that may distract from your only purpose: My Wealth and Well-Being. Now Go! Be Fruitful and Multiply!

And You! I shall deem ye significant. You shall be honored and thusly, you shall also, deem me significant. I shall reciprocate; and you shall reciprocate; with gratitude; with favor; with togetherness; with kindness; with affection. We shall have these moments. And we shall have other moments. And in these other moments, I shall cast ye out; and I shall condemn ye; and I shall keep ye at my beck and call; and I shall call on ye; and I shall, again, deem ye significant. Now Go! And live within this Curse. And live within this Blessing. And Forever and Always, Be My Fool.

My World is so ordered.

And Now Me. I shall work to know me as ye; and I shall work to know ye as me. I shall feel the reality of being cast out; and condemned; and kept; and called. I shall feel the weight of that waste and sludge spilling out of ye; and as my own waste and sludge flows forth from me, I shall see it for what it is. Though it may feel different, and though it may even give me pleasure, I shall understand that there is no difference between the release of my muck and being bogged in your mire. Having learned from the past, I shall live in the moment, for the future. Now I shall Go! And I shall Live! And I shall, one day, Be Gone.

My Future is so ordered.
