My Future Masterpiece

Someday, once I'm independently wealthy, I'll be able to unleash my independent creativity.

I'm not enough a gambling man to do it the other way around.

That's why I'll never be surprised if they don't talk about me when I'm gone.

No one says, "that man used such sound judgement to lead his quiet life.
What a hero there, taking care of his lawn, kids, and wife."

I don't care though, because heroism isn't the point.  It's not an achievable created position, if it is to be done right.

We don't do what we do for praise or ridicule, but ideally because it is what were meant to do.

And that is what heroes do, if they're a hero of mine.  And if you never hear of them or me, then don't mind that I don't mind.
