> *No, they _don't_ send me money for obvious reasons.*

Let me see if I've got this straight. If they sent money for obvious
reasons business would be much easier. Do we think they give us money to
burn lime and stuff mortar in the brick joint, or to sharpen our pencils
and draw a line on the paper? If this were so, we'd be rolling in dough.
Actually they send us money because we remind them of their brother they
loved and lost in the war, or because their neighbor will see how nice
their house looks, or spending money helps their head fill their hat. When
we understand this we are in business and then we get to play with mud and
draw pictures for the joy that we can find in hard work.
