Paul and Allan Discuss Children

Allan: Paul! Stop treating your children as if they were born to be economic units. Are they your life or the system's slaves? They don't need to go to La Rosey and have private tutors.

Give them a stick, allow them to beat you over the head with it then let them go play. Better yet, play with them and you'll learn something you can't read in a textbook.

Paul: I love my children Allan. I am preparing them for the real world where adults compete over Kimqualcom titles. Everyone does it and it's normal, but because of my position my children will have all the advantages. They will be the leaders of tomorrow. The park bench your kind are so fond of sleeping on will bare their names.

Allan: Here we go again with your dead names on the bench routine! How many dead names will be written on the benches of history? If they are written in love then I applaud them, but if love was written in their hearts while they lived then I will bow before them! They were kings on Earth.

Paul: It's better to be a dead name in a history book than a nobody Allan. Existence preceeds essence, in life you must become someone. One must either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about. This is the meaning of life. If I do something important for the public then everyone will see my value then I will be valuable.

Allan: What about love? If you don't feel love you will smooth yourself out to become what society expects from you. Becoming the great something! Your accomplishments bore me to death Paul compared to the experience of love. Open yourself up and realize the external world is not a territory to be conquered. Stop treating life like it has a scoreboard Paul, this is the real thing. The universe isn't keeping track of your achievements so put your gameboy down. You're not Mario, Paul.

Paul: You're just jealous because I'm a big achiever unlike you who sits on the park bench all day. When my name is on your bench you will understand Allan, then you'll regret not putting in the effort to overcome your weaknesses.

Allan: Hey! I'll applaud you for it and thanks for sharing the details Paul. I'd rather you be honest about your delusions than to lie about your other ones.
