Prophets and Profits


In a day when profits are so quantified and prophets less than qualified, knowing which of these wisdoms to put in your pocket can be challenging and undignified. As if the two words just happened to strike a conversation to realize their distant filial roots and next jump at the opportunity to reunite in the 21st century.

An extraordinary Profit spoke to an unlearned Prophet and told him of all the best gains to be made in all the worst ways and the two of them struck an unconventional partnership. So where is your Profit? Who is your Prophet? The high point on the graph, the bottom line of moral misconception fundamentals? The problem with fundamentalist Prophets is their number one concern is the moral bottom line, and the problem with fundamentalist Profit seekers is that their number one concern is the financial bottom line. And as if you ever thought that the two were distinguishable anymore, consider which informs the majority of the modern world’s decisions. Prophetical profiteering pioneering a new period of growth for the human wallet and soul.

So following too close to a prophet or a profit must lead to despair and completely undermine the bold beauty of human authenticity and individuality. But if you want that, if you truly WANT that, then don’t expect others to follow the economic or ecumenic evangelism with any enthusiasm.
