I realize that cringing obsequiousness is a great human tradition in the relationships between those without power and those with, but I do have to point out that, when push comes to shove, your betters will never remember your service.
I know it's possible that some time in the future I might realize that I have been a fool all this time. However, it is also possible that alternatively, you might realize the same. That moment has yet to come for either of us. So here we stand.
