How the NYPD reported this to the public:

I’m pretty sure is caught fire and exploded, not the other way around…

To be fair some are born with it. Amorality is a sufficient - but not necessary - condition for wealth. Which is why I think it is a ritual or societally ritualised culture/act as opposed to an inherent evil within the individual. The evil of the bourgeoisie seems to me to be a group evil, as opposed to an individual one.

By this point it seems to be some kind of rite of entrance into the upper bourgeois club… like a twisted ‘test’ to prove you are above the law and at the top end of the class dictatorship.

The sky will always shine blue and the earth

Will endure long and flourish in Spring.

But you, mankind, how long will you live?

From The Drinking Song of the Sorrows of the Earth.

It is a piece of Chinese poetry by Li T’ai-po and the German translation was used as the libretto for the first movement of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde.
