The nature of man

"Such is the nature of man,
that for your first gift - he prostrates himself;
for your second - kisses your hand;
for the third - fawns;
for the fourth - just nods his head once;
for the fifth - becomes too familiar;
for the sixth - insults you; and
for the seventh - sues you because be was not given enough.".

G.I.Gurdjieff, «Life is real only
then, when I am»
