Just Deserts

Most of those who have laboured
diligently over the years succeeding in
amassing a personal fortune tend not to
spend lavishly and many among them
feel it becomes them to offer aid to
others in society through philanthropic
generosity hoping to improve society
in some way that appeals to them. By
no means is this a guarantee that those
whose fortune includes material and
liquid assets beyond the dreams of the
hopeful Everyman, but we know of those 
entrepreneurs whose vision has brought
 them unprecedented reward in wealth 
and for whom philanthropy speaks its 
voice of reasonable expectation. Exceptions 
abound in every human endeavour but 
often explanations as well, as when those 
whose penchant leans to embezzlement 
and succeed likewise in amassing fortunes 
appear to have a tendency to rash and 
ostentatious splurging, their greed and 
their criminal minds fixated on availing 
themselves of illicit-funded bank accounts 
enabling them to acquire all the rewards
their imaginations spurred them to crime 
to achieve their end. And the end comes 
swiftly in outraged justice and with
a vengeance when their very visibility
and unaccountability betray their vision.
