Getting right up in his face but remaining true is the way to Utopia. Cowering in a VVV box is not life - that's another trick by The Devil. Jaunting past temptation at every corner. Perhaps sipping a little whisky, ogling beauty, caressing and tasting the fine foods of France, counting a stack of fifties, flicking a stick along the prison bars of the 7 Cardinal Sins to see how they ring when struck. Self control and VVV is to dabble, to know, to not cringe but walk right up and laugh in the Devil's face. But great care is required that one is not seduced by hubris and bravado. A careless arrogance of one's own power over The Devil leading to a little slip at just the wrong moment and the taunting high wire act turns to just another easy win for a long-practised master of the art. VVV lies in knowing, defying, remaining on the true course, to wherever the true course leads us. We don't know where we're going but we're on our way, with The Devil lying in wait, disguised. Pinnochio made the mistake of going to Pleasure Island, and pretty soon the boys' ears were growing into donkey ears, their apostrophe's awry ... phpbucket.com "I have found the one true course - it is Gold. Get Gold. Get More Gold. Go Gold Go. Gold is Good. Greed is Good. Good is Good. Good is Gold." Watch your step out there, King Midas. When you are eating it, wrapped around fine Indian sweets, and drinking it, sprinkled in fine French fizzy fermentations, you might be overdosing. Goose is Good? Good as Gold? Good as Globalstar? VVV is a tricky business. The Devil is in the details, so they say. Mqurice
