BEASTS

There are a lot of versions of this word naturally. By that I mean that plenty of people have their interpretation of what constitutes a beast.

It can be a monster, a creature of some fond memory or any of many other options. But it will probably not be an image that is positive.

We just don't treat beasts at pets normally. They are a lot of things, but seldom cute and fuzzy bunnies.

Now a beast can be also a something or someone you view as useful for something you don't like to do. Such as a chore.

Not that I would tell them that. Oh no that would never do. People tend to get upset if you call them a beast.

Oh it doesn't mean they aren't. Just that they don't want to be obvious about it. Nope that will never do.

Which is why you have to make it seem like they are really blessed by the effort. Yeah that is very important.

So it does require a few stretches of the truth. An occasional tale or two be sure they feel you care.

Course that is all it amounts to on so many levels. Just a smile passed on while leading the poor person to the slaughtehouse.

Well perhaps that is a bit extreme. Perhaps not a slaughterhouse exactly. More like a place where any illusions died.

Which is sometimes a good thing. At least if you are one of those who is in the beast category.

A beast with dreams can get angry. They can start thinking they can be more than a beast.

End up with some kind of attitude. And that is never a good option for beasts. They just end up finding out too late they are beasts.

See if you can keep them from finding out. That is great. It means they can't know they are just workers.

They have to imagine they are good and wonderful. To see they are full of possibilities. Even if they are not.
Just a matter of communication in a way that doesn't get anyone pissed off.
