The Strongest Shape? And then a talk about Morality.

Why is it that Life seems to be in an everlasting cycle? And it's always in a circle? We take from the earth while we live. And we return to the earth when we die. I've asked a simple question before in physics. What is the strongest shape to resist change from outward pressure? I've been answered a circle.

I have this incredibly weird mind that likes to link everything together. So I gathered after some musing, that life is so tenacious mainly because it's "shape" is a never ending cycle, which incidentally is a circle. So by being a circle, life isn't easily ended as new life sprouts up every time another ends.

So the REAL REASON why the "food pyramid" being used to educate people isn't getting the response it ought to perhaps it's NOT a CIRCLE! Yeah! Exactly... Pyramids are meant for things that are going to be placed to DIE off in a peaceful manner. Thus the food pyramid kinda antiquated for most people who don't care, really REALLY fast.

So perhaps certain shapes do dictate how strong a process is, depending on the way the process is supposed to work. Wait, what about pyramid marketing? Well, don't you know it's already illegal? The very sense of the word pyramid marketing didn't work out very well for it's very first incarnation here in Singapore didn't it? So it ended up being RENAMED into direct marketing or some people call it direct sales. But despite it being 100% identical to pyramid marketing in terms of the way the company and its processes are run, people are literally embracing this new form of marketing.

As for the "new" direct sales/marketing gimmick thingy, it's exactly the same as pyramid marketing, except that instead of multiple middle men, 100% of the profits now go to the ONLY visible "middle man" which is the manager of the "branch office". Of course there are OTHER "branch offices" which are run by OTHER "managers" who earn 5 digit salaries from the slavings of their "slaves" and thus there is no more difference between pyramid marketing and direct sales. They pay their employees next to nothing while the managers reap all the profits. They also have other so called "alliances" with other direct sales/marketing companies... which IF you put them together, would be NO different from a Pyramid marketing company in the past.

The fucking scary thing IS! That every single "successful" direct sales/marketing manager now, had been in the pyramid marketing scheme. They practically remade pyramid marketing no doubt in a more "creative" and "inventive" manner. But the way people are treated and the way profits flow in the company are no different than from the original scheme. Where only the people on the top profit from the hard labors of their employees, which are practically stagnant in a dead end job that they don't realize until maybe in their 30s or 40s. Infact, they cut away the chance that the low end employees can climb up the social ladder by taking over the recruitment at the managerial level.

What does that mean? It means that the managers are forever the ones that bring in new recruits and all new recruits are forever earning for that manager ONLY. Thus the lowest level employees are never even given a chance to earn a profit from bringing others into the company. In a way, it's even more perverted and twisted than the original scheme. While no one working in these company would have the sense *after all that brainwashing who would be able to think straight for themselves anyways* to question their manager. While the manager claims that they eventually promote people to become managers, they conveniently forget to mention that these "managers" whom they promoted are creating a BRAND fucking new direct marketing company under their own names.

That's NOT a bloody promotion my man. That's the person QUITING and creating a rival company which is in direct competition to you. So WAKE the FUCK up and stop putting day dreams into the heads of the young adults who are so god damn naive to believe all that crap that comes out of the mouths of you flithy people who just so love to take advantage of their youth and destroying their future by TELLING THEM that they do NOT need an education to get ahead in this day and age.

Yes my friends, those are the exact words I heard at several direct sales/marketing companies I've dared venture to see what kind of employment they offer. They ACTUALLY have the BLOODY NERVE to tell the people that they DO NOT NEED an education. They are telling people who OBVIOUSLY NEED education to tell the difference between the fuckers that are tricking them and the people who really care about them.

My deep anger towards these people are only compounded when I observe more and more of these direct sales personnel ending up DEPENDING on their parents after they REALIZED that they've been used and they got no money to further their education without finding another job. And ladies and gentlemen, these people are in their 30s and almost 40s. Oh my GOD. These people are far too ashamed to even fucking tell anyone. Only people who observed these cases quietly and discreetly can understand WHY nobody out there publicly exposes these bastards that ruin futures.

By having no education, the people in this industry, will eventually have NO choice. But to continue working in this line and tricking more and more youths to support their poorly educated asses. Never ending vicious cycle that will one day, become a major social problem. And I tell you, some of these direct sales/marketing companies POSE as collectors on behalf of charitable organizations WITH the proper documents. They SELL their products AND PROFIT from the sale of "charitable" donations. Who supports these bloody people by giving them the proper authorization to continue this sickening masquerade is very obvious. But people can't say anything now can they? But I'm sick of this... and also because I've personally experienced this from the inside because of a 1 day orientation. *It was a previous blog entry*

It's worthy to note that because of this reason, I never donate money to any charity. But I do volunteer to do some physical chores in charitable organizations. Why? Because I can literally contribute and see my contributions in a physical form instead of giving money to these organizations aiming to profit from the people who are truly needing the contributions. I trust not the collectors but would rather physically help the needy than giving money to people who would only work to steal it away from them.

HOW can you consider it a charitable cause when you profit from the transaction? It's a deep moral issue that I seriously hope these people who still have a shred of conscience to reconsider all the lies and the bluffs they have been doing to profit from the misfortunes of others. By preying on the stupid is one thing. To prey on the disabled, the old and the needy is really lower than pond scum. One example is T.T. Durai. While you are successful in pulling funds to help the needy, you are a con man and a thief if you benefit MORE than a single dependent that is under your care.

What gives you the right to use the money that is donated with expectation to HELP the needy FOR PERSONAL GAIN? Do you feel that the money BELONGS to you? Just because you came up with a few ideas to open the donation channel to MORE people who WANT to give to the POOR? From what I know, Durai did not suffer from kidney failure. IF he was one of the patients under the care of the organization he leads, THEN I say that his spending, no matter HOW LAVISH or HOW UNWARRANTED is fine by me. Why? Because he is one of the disabled that I donated to help. If you can make his life more comfortable over that dreadful diease, I wholeheartedly support that cause.

IF your not one of the subjects dependent on the charity, then you got NO FUCKING RIGHT besides the basic need of survival to use the money people donated to you for the purpose of helping the needy. Remember, while it's LEGAL to use 30% of all money donated to a charitable organization, it's NOT morally upright to spend that much if you can avoid it. While I know morals are of extremely short demand in the world. Charities should be the ones that should have priority over these people. The world is bad enough when the wicked are running rampant. Let's not have the wicked ruling our only safe havens that is our charities that are meant to shelter us from the storm of evil.

With that, I leave you with a moment of reflection. A written form of the twisting storm that makes up my mind. Alauz Out!

Royalty
Royalty, the noble ones that leads us forth.
On the tip of a sword, Royalty was born.
Yesterday was an age of wars.
Already the world they've robbed.
Loyalty was a virtue they adored.
Truthfulness something they abhorred.
Yesterday was an age of wars.

Idiots of today, Geniuses of tomorrow
