"People know the part I'm playing." --"Just a Gigalo" lyrics

And people use most anything in that capacity, Rule #42 is not a theorem, after all.

While the callously selfish oppressive monsters don't care how their victims feel, so long as they get their pleasure. Greed for money and sex are really the same kind of selfish vice. And callousness to the misery of others and heartlessly disrespecting a person's human right to choose what we do with whom they will, are two of the primary drivers of unhappiness upon our Earth today.

Compassion is a balm for all such vices, but we must choose to learn the truth of its importance and then choose to manifest it in our ideals, attitudes, and behaviors. It, like all things human, is within our power, both individually and collectively, but, first, we must give a sh_t.
