The Pyramid

Life is a pyramid. Human society is a pyramid. Pyramids can have many shapes, but the top can never be larger than the bottom, lest the pyramid fall and crumble.

All financially successful huge house types say that anyone can do it, all it takes is hard work, and good decisions. The bottom of the pyramid never does enough of this, it seems.

But what if the bottom of the pyramid suddenly started to? - suddenly started to work hard, and make good decisions, that is?

Would we all wind up living in mansions, millionaires? All seven billion of us? Is that what we want?

If I were making a million a year, and living in a 5000 sq ft house, I might still be at the bottom of the pyramid, with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet making a trillion a year and living in one million sq ft houses.Wouldn't THAT be nice?
