“There was nothing worse, Veppers thought, than a loser who’d made it. It was just part of the way things worked – part of the complexity of life, he supposed – that sometimes somebody who absolutely deserved nothing more than to be one of the down-trodden, the oppressed, the dregs of society, lucked out into a position of wealth, power and admiration. At least people who were natural winners knew how to carry themselves in their pomp, whether their ascendancy had come through the luck of being born rich and powerful or the luck of being born ambitious and capable. Losers who’d made it always let the side down. Veppers was all for arrogance – he possessed the quality in full measure himself, as he’d often been informed – but it had to be deserved, you had to have worked for it. Or at the very least, an ancestor had to have worked for it. Arrogance without cause, arrogance without achievement – or that mistook sheer luck for true achievement – was an abomination. Losers made everybody look bad. Worse, they made the whole thing – the great game that was life – appear arbitrary, almost meaningless. Their only use, Veppers had long since decided, was as examples to be held up to those who complained about their lack of status or money or control over their lives: look, if this idiot can achieve something, so can anybody, so can you. So stop whining about being exploited and work harder. Still, at least individual losers were quite obviously statistical freaks

Indeed it did. But for a few strokes of good fortune I might have ended up like you.

Surely being sasguru isn't something to aspire too.

To have ended up like me you'd have had to have invested your contracting earnings rather than, by your own admission, pissing it against a wall.

HTH, BIKIW.

Quite, hence my good fortune in avoiding his fate.

How quaint. No doubt in a short while you will tell me I have no imagination. Of course, I don't really need one to the extent you do because my life consists of more than sitting in a shed at the back of a terraced house next to a prison convincing myself that i've made it.
