I really enjoyed the sentiment of your post.

"When all possessions are replaceable in a thrift store for $20, theft stops being a main concern."

I have noticed this. Also, when you live under a bridge, there's just nothing you can do to keep your possessions. People will take them when you can't protect them.

This is just like the girls trapped in brothels, trafficked for sex. They can't keep their virtue, anymore than the poor can keep their possessions.

Just like the poor become generous with what possessions they have, so slaves have no compunction about virtue.

What was it the Peppers said? 'Give it away, give it away, give it away, now.'

We see exactly the same feature of generosity of that which has no value in the wealthy. They have arranged to secure their money and possessions, if rarely their virtue, but they cast their 'friendship' far and wide.

They are networking beasts!

Their friendship is every bit as valuable as the possessions of someone living under a bridge.

Thanks!

Great comment! I think I see what you're getting at, that the wealthy view friendships as disposable. I would absolutely agree, and suspect that concept is probably worth a whole post itself.
