Play as Being 23

• Am I the owner of an untamed beast? This beast is powerful and useful. It works for me. It plays with me. But it is very demanding. It takes all my attention. It constantly makes me see things from its point of view. Now I have a word that will bring it to heel. And another that will keep it quiet. And yet more that will send it to fetch for me. For who buys a dog and then barks himself?
• Suppose I offer you $7,000,000 would you accept it? Sure you would. Suppose I said that inflation is running high and that tomorrow it will be worth $6,000,000 and the day after only $5,000,000. In a week's time it will be worth nothing at all. Would you still accept it? Sure you would. Suppose I said that a thief could steal it one night before the week is out, leaving you with nothing. Again, would you accept it? Sure. Now... what are you going to do with it?
