We all are on
Stultifera Navis (The Ship of Fools)
This is where we all are similar to sebastian :
"They moved on in gloomy silence for a while and Sebastian
found himself thinking wistfully about his hometown, the place
he’d lived for all of his seventeen years. He closed his eyes
for a moment and saw the big bustling market in the town
square, where prosperous merchants in their embroidered cloaks
loudly advertised their wares as the townspeople moved past
them. Suddenly a whole series of familiar images, smells and
tastes assailed Sebastian’s senses. He saw the richly
decorated textiles and carpets that hung from wooden frames
around the many stalls. He smelled the rich odours of the
cattle pens, where people came to barter for buffalopes and
equines(TRADERS !!). He tasted the delicious tang of the hot sherbet they
served in the cafs, and smelled the rich aroma of elvish
coffee emanating from the many restaurants that lined the
square . . .
Then he had a vivid recollection of his mother’s face on
the day he’d finally left home – her red-rimmed eyes, her
brave, forlorn attempt at a smile. Sitting up on the seat of
the caravan, he’d called down to her that he’d be back just as
soon as he’d made his fortune, that all her troubles would be
over . . . but neither of them had really believed it....
Personally fully agree with CV's remark ,let us be in money making effort than being Right ,"Lets thank the Almighty for small mercies, it would have been difficult to make a buck otherwise."
