The Little World

A fine concept. Except most of what I do is Système D.

In case you are unclear about the classifications, let me explain:

a. Système A – By the book. Follow the correct pathway to do anything, and expect that the correct outcome will eventuate.

b. Système B – By the current fashion – even if it does not exactly accord with the classical instructions. A hip plan.

c. Système C – The moral plan. Do what is right, no matter if it is murderous. God will reward you.

d. Systèm D – Just wing it. Make do and mend. Call me M. Débroullier.

I am sorry to say that I have experimented with each mode of operation and I can really only say that ( d. ) has become the norm. I do know what I should do, but I also know that there is little to compel that. I am no more moral than the next person, but as long as I do not stand next to the Queensland Minister For Roads, all is well.

The end result rarely justifies the means, but then neither do any of the other rewards we seem to seek. I do muddle onward, and urge others to do so as well. The further away we are before the disaster is discovered, the better.
