CHEESECAKE FACTORY v ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL: A STUDY

Timeless design.

Classic vision.

Tasteful architecture.

What more could anyone want from the Cheesecake Factory?

Or, St. Paul’s Cathedral?

No cheesecake, but there is hope.

A side of salvation.

Wings?

 

 

Raise Your Eyes Upward

Archways of color and drama.

Sweeping vistas of intricate importance.

An inviting environment to contemplate your next move.

 

 

Through The Shadows

The longer you stay in the Cheesecake Factory, or St. Paul’s Cathedral, the clearer the vision, the better you see.

At first it’s all overwhelming, then you see the pillars and arches and they speak to you.

Cheesecake? Nooooo.

 

 

 

 

PS:

You have expectations and needs and work it out to meet them as best you can.

If you’re lucky, you have a cooperative partner in finding solutions to common problems.

If you’re very lucky you have the right to vote, and use it.

 

PSS:

Will you find cheesecake in church?

Will you find religion in the Cheesecake Factory?

This takes some ‘outside the box’ thinking, as long as there’s cheesecake in the box, and you’re in church.

Whether it’s preached from the pulpit or the kitchen, whether you hear it from the usher or the cook, we expect common decency in the sort of places where common decency is normal.

No one needs to be sold on the idea of treating people how they’d like to be treated?

But we forget when a modern master of mass communication says otherwise.

‘Do what I tell you to do, believe what I tell you to believe, eat the cheesecake I tell you to eat.’

Who obeys that sort of nonsense?

It’s like giving people the wrong sized shoes and expecting them to set new track records.

It’s like sitting out the mid-term elections because you’re too busy doing you.

It’s deciding your responsibility as a citizen is someone else’s job.

Now this is the tricky part, as a responsible citizen you vote for people who represent your ideas and beliefs.

If you believe in unicorns and rainbows, I’m with you.

If you don’t believe in helping people who have proven to be helpless, they still need help.

Vote for candidates who seem able to understand how the government works to help others first, not themselves.

Now, what about that cheesecake?
