In whom or what are we investing our time & efforts & planning, our resources, our affection & love, our hopes?
Invest money in me, if you can, & I’ll invest money in you, if I can.
We need money to stay alive where so much of what we absolutely must have — shelter, safety, nourishment, time when nothing is demanded of us, communicating thru chaos & injustice & prejudice with potential allies — costs money.
But invest your attention in me — it will pay great dividends — & I will invest attention in you.
And affection & understanding of unusual degree.
Encourage my efforts, or discourage them, if you think they’re unwise. Don’t let me fail!
If you encourage my efforts, invest your efforts that complement them, & I’ll contribute my efforts that complement yours — even more, & more particularly, than I have been doing for the last 60 years.
You will gain more than the dollars of profit you might make by investing in what the billionaires & their employees are dangling.
It’s not a passive investment — but you’ll be passive soon enough, won’t you?
