That's how I've always lived my life. Ever since I was a teenager, ever since I was a kid, ever since I was a baby. In fact - this might sound crazy - ever since I was a facecloth, some kinda cheesecloth, I've lived by this motto.
Non serviam.
That's latin, m'boy, a language from the days of yesterfar, and it means "I don't serve". I'm my own person. Do what thou willst is the law. It's this kind of freedom - some say it's the only freedom penguins have me - that is so rare these days. Take a look around, smart guy, and you don't see many people living by this credo. This maxim. This tenet. Mandamus - mandamus? Of course, looks can be deceiving, as can smells. Many who think they don't serve are beautifully ignorantly kidding themselves - take me for instance.
Just another reminder that we are all nothing if not many-layered onions. Each removed husk seems so final, yet the process goes on anew. Humility is endless.

Hello. In light of Serviam, which many don't know is a succulent variant of Morjoram, I have decided to write a self help manual titled 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Douchebags'.
The first habit will be watering down soup for one's customers. The second habit is maintaining a double-entry book-keeping system. I've revealed too much.

Inculcate the masses with My little homey?! That's outrageous. It is either a brave man, or a mad one that would suggest such an idea. We live in troubled times....agree to disagree?
The difference between "serve" (עבד) and "transgress" (עבר) in late Hebrew characters is so minute that it would be easy to mistake one for the other when hand-copying a manuscript. I therefore humbly submit that you subconciously wish only to serve.
i find your argument highly convincing, although somewhat of a schlepp, mick vyse. And yet... and yet. I humbly submit that I consciously wish only to humbly submit.
