Karma Chameleon for President · Empty Glass for Unseen Ruler
⁘ “Curious parables. Says the chameleon, "I'll just have a big empty glass. Whatever the people pour into it, that is what it'll be." The worst ruler is the one who rules by fear. The mediocre is the one who rules being dear to the citizens. And the best ruler is the one who is never seen, who is never heard of, but everything flows exactly as it should. ”
The bartender looks at the chameleon.
For you, sir?
Says the chameleon,
"I'll just have a big empty glass.
Whatever the people pour into it,
that is what it'll be.
I won't even drink any of it.
I'll just examine the spectrum and shape myself to match."
The bartender was puzzled.
The worst ruler is the one who rules by fear.
The mediocre is the one who rules being dear to the citizens.
And the best ruler is the one
who is never seen, who is never heard of,
but everything flows exactly as it should,
fulfilling the needs of everyone.
I heard that on Star Trek once upon a time.
So then, live long and prosper, ye all.
Long live the Unified States of Consciousness.
May we all be well and live in peace.
