I found some great comment on the GFC meme at an odd spot. Enjoy.

The people of the village
sit close together
They seem happy and glad
They mingle as they gather in the village square

Off in the castles and mansions
the people are separate and confined
behind tall walls
Their smiles seem shallow
and no one tells the truth

Those who have little
seem filled with abundance
They have compassion and care for others
Their friendships
are as valuable as pure gold

Those who have great treasures
seem important and secure
They are surrounded by luxury and wear fine clothes
but they live in fear of losing
and have no time for others
Eat without tasting
Seek comfort from what cannot give life

One is full and happy
the other empty and sad
Therefore it is best to examine closely
the meaning of wealth.

In the urban jungle again, cursed with a working brain, I see lot of vanity and massive space for sanity.

TLA are power memes of a special kind, as they easily clog up the mind. Hack the matrix is the game, just don't do it for fame.
