What’s My Excuse?

At work, I am asked: “When you look in the mirror, aren’t you embarrassed by who you are?”
Luke: “I evolved in a warm climate where food was plentiful year round. I did not have to plan ahead. I did not have to work hard. I did not need a good reputation. I did not need to cooperate with others. All I needed to do was to to hold forth under the coconut tree about salvation and the Time of the End. I was bred more for beauty than for diligence.”
