Ticket Prices : Value Re-adjustment

You slip a sheet of paper into the printer.

The paper is blank. You've got the words and pictures all laid out in your computer and you click 'print'. What a beautiful picture you've prepared and what a lovely message you've prepared. it's a document that will change the world.

The colors, vibrantly outstanding where necessary and classically faded where necessary. The characters' expression only is a fraction of the entire pictures' collective expression. It is an expression of immense love, joy and fleeting beauty of proportional levels.

The words, so well written, reflecting a certain quality of the command of language. 'So well versed, this lad is,' people will say. So piercing, and so revitalizing, the phrases of a million roses and daffodils, reading like a sweet fragrance through the eyes of whoever reads it.

Ah , so complete, the document.

You click 'print'.

The paper is loaded. And so the printer starts popping the colors down according to the arrangement of pixels and color configurations. Its really turning out quite well don't u think?

Then the printer jams and starts blotching the paper left right and center.



Well, its really not the paper's fault. I mean, it didn't ask to be placed in the printer. And it wasn't in control of the printer's actions.

Yet it is the printer who gets fixed and the paper is crumpled, torn, and thrown into the waste paper basket to either be burnt, re-processed or whatever, even though it didn't do anything wrong at all.

That's the value of that white sheet of paper. Its a victimized value.
