the richest and most powerful man
once upon a time in a land not far from here... there lived a very rich, very powerful man... and if he had lived one day... he had lived a thousand years....
he was rich because he had created a need for something no one really needed,,, and sold it hand over fist to the poor, hungry, local people whom he had coerced into believing, that it would improve the quality of the feeble existence they called life....and to add insult to injury,,, it cost nothing to produce....
he was powerful because once every one had bought into his concept,,, they were destined to pass the need for it on to their sons, and they to their sons and so on ......and eventually generations of men had the need for the concept,,, that only he could provide for them...
he was very pleased,, as each day he watched as all the people of the land relied solely on his concept...
he was even happier when he counted all the money that they had been given him in effort to make sure that each one of the people in the land had the newest and the most accurate translation of his concept...
he watched as the men argued over who's rendition of the concept was the best... he cheered as they waged war over who's was the more powerful..
he watched as the women trained the children in the proper use and handling of his concept,, and thus ensured his customer base by inculcating into their young minds the fact that no man, woman, or child in this land could live with out a basic working knowledge of his beloved concept....
this led him to think..."hmmmm..... if it was so easy to convince the people in this land that my concept is an absolute necessity in our little corner of the world... how much more so can i peddle it to all of mankind, in every land,,, if i just make a few minor modifications....."
indeed,, he had stumbled on to the ultimate marketing plan.....in fact,,, he was quite surprised he hadn't thought of it earlier.....
just think generation upon generation passing on the necessity of his concept to generation upon generation, in every city and town and country all over the world.... thus generating millions and millions of people all over the world to buy into his concept.... and of course,,lining generously his pockets and reserving the position of the most powerful man in all the world for him alone....
as day turned into week,, week to year,, year to tens of years, tens of years to hundreds of years....our rich and powerful man became even more rich,, and without question,, he became the most powerful man in all of the world......
as this is going to be a long story we should give this man a name.... for the sake of convenience and so that we don't reveal his true identity... lets just call him............. god................that's dog spelled backwards... that should be easy to remember.....
