There are roads one chooses to traverse and roads that happen upon us by chance. Having gone down both, I dare say that neither is better than the other. What matters is the destination. Should a road lead us to greatness, it matters little how we came across it, whether by fate or luck, we end up where we go and there’s not much more to say to it.

The top is a place where most men desire to be, but seldom arrive. It is a land where the river flows upwards. All good things go to those who sit the highest. That is the way by both human and natural design, the world has evolved itself to be.

Those who sit at the highest hold claim to all things worth having in the world, save natural gifts ordained to all by God. However, man fashions for himself such luxuries that even the Gods would be envious of, which is indicative of why throughout history we find gods closely intermingled with their creation.

The top is a place that renews and builds itself. The top exists because those at the top have it so. They have created wonders worth protecting and withholding from the masses due to fears (so justified) that the common man may ruin the good things built by more worthy minds. And it so, because as a whole, man is suspectable to irrationalities that put in danger works of great men and of nature itself.

One need only look towards the public cities where riots and angry crowds often gather to commit self-destruction upon themselves because those who hold power are far removed from such places and are never exposed to such remedial dangers.

What the top holds, is an intelligence, a standard, a way of conduct that goes beyond superficial things. It is made of up of men who understand how the world works, for better or worse. It is the true battleground of hell vs heaven. For those who would control the top, control the world. And we pray that it is good men who are in power at the end of the day.

The top is a seat, a position that must be filled by one or the other. It cares not for qualifications or credentials. The top is filled with fakes and frauds who have scammed their way into forging a believable enough history that their wealth is upkept only through smoke and mirrors and an ever growing susceptible number of equally rich, naive patrons.

The top makes room for the real slowly, just as slow as it is to reject the fakes. For once you are part of the top, it is a difficult thing to dislodge yourself from the amount of built of connections, money, and power one holds and accumulates over time. The top, is a fate granted to those who strive long enough, diligently enough, and is worthy of character to be present amongst those who have done the same.

The bottom may be filled with just as many fraudsters, but it is the top that has fraudsters who make the most impact on people’s lives. Impact and reach brings wealth, even at the cost of good conscience. Money is most easily made through stealing, plundering, and opportunity bereft with evil acts. Which is why many rich men are evil, for they have the bodies buried to prove it. But to that extent, a great number of riches is made through the benefit of society. Through acts which server to advance the human race.

In the rarity of such respectable, virtuous companies, it would be wise that when does find one, to stick true to it. Live with grace and a knowing that the business one is in, determines who they are. Money is a metric, by which good businesses can judge themselves but the end all be all. A business can be generating heavy profits, and be morally bankrupt. But it not be so in the latter. A company can do well by its people and the population. But not ever company can do this, there will always exist bad companies that prey upon the generosity and goodwill of others, much like people.

In the end, should one find himself sitting at the top, there is only the wish that it be on the side of good and not evil. For the top is a war zone between light and dark forces. The top is truly where the fight begins and ends. To make it to the top, is simply to enter a war that one never knew existed till he has been granted access. It is where the fate of humanity rests. The top, the ones who control this Earth, that is where the playground of life and where the fun is truly to be had. See you there, maybe.
