"You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all." (Mark 10:35 - 45)
THE DILBERT PRINCIPLE
Every day, in newspapers around the country, cartoonist Scott Adams chronicles the absurdities of the work place and the distorted values of corporate America in the comic strip Dilbert, the on-going story of one cubicle-dweller's struggle to make sense out of it all.
In his book The Dilbert Principle, Adams expounds "Dilbert's Laws of Work:"
Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."
If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.
If it wasn't for the last moment, nothing would get done.
Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.
Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning, nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
The point is, we have come to expect less than the best and we are proud of it! Just get by. Lie, cheat, and steal! Everybody does it! That's the American way!
CONNECTION: Jesus' words in today's Gospel, "it will not be so among you," are among the most haunting of all of Jesus' utterances. We cannot help but hear the pleading, the hope in Jesus' voice. "It will not be so among you" is perhaps the greatest challenge of the Gospel: These words call us not to accept business as usual, not to accept injustice and estrangement as "the way things are," not to be satisfied with the Dilbert philosophy of "expect less than the best and be proud of it," not to justify our flexible morals and ethics with the mantra "everybody does it." Christ calls us to a new perspective, a new vision of the human condition centered in the dignity of every man and woman as a son and daughter of God.
