Dialogue
Oh! You startled me, for I was in deep contemplation.
Are you a pirate?
I suppose that to a casual observer, it might appear that that is my profession - my calling, so to say. Perhaps even my passion.
I, however, put it to you that since material wealth is but a human thought construct, how can one truly "steal" anything?
If those I meet find themselves intellectually and spiritually enriched by my opinions, have they not, in fact, profited?
Already on your face, I can glimpse a fresh understanding. You are most welcome, my friend.-

What will you do now?
I have undergone a profound metaphysical transformation, and I must carefully consider it's ramifications.
In time, I expect to form a greater appreciation of the ways in which the material and intangible combine to create a singular zeitgeist.
Also, I shall drink excessively.-
