Saving the world: The five rules


Dear Joe,

            This is my second letter to you, so you better sit down and listen. In my latest endeavour, I have tried really hard to save the world. To SAVE the world, yes, that is correct. I take great pleasure in disclosing the lessons learned in this adventure, because that's what real friends do. These five general rulles that helped me, and will help you, Joe, are of great original importance.

The first rule of saving the world is;  "Everybody wants to save the world but nobody wants to help mom' with the dishes"

The second rule of saving the world is; No monkey-minded person has ever been able to save more than money for a packet of cigarettes, at worst, and a one week vacantion per year, at best.

The third rule of not saving the world is; You can only save yourself, but usually anything else from surfing the internet to talking about nothing is of much greater importance.

The fourth rule of not saving the world is; Every world saver should first find out who and what is the one reading this so called rule right here.

The fifth rule of saving the world is; Every world saver should become able to do his/her own set of rules, while saving the world, before realising that there are no real rules whatsoever.


Yours,
The escapist
