“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

actually, that is a blessing -- predictable source of income, devoid of risks

Google AI: Found in Matthew 25:14-30, this famous parable (often called the Parable of the Talents) is a story told by Jesus about a wealthy master who leaves for a long journey. Before departing, he entrusts his money to three servants, giving different amounts to each according to their abilities:
Servant 1: Given 5 talents (worth several million dollars in today's currency). He invests it and doubles the amount to 10.
Servant 2: Given 2 talents. He invests it and doubles the amount to 4.
Servant 3: Given 1 talent. Driven by fear of the master, he hides it in the ground and returns only the original amount upon the master's return.
Upon his return, the master assesses their work. Both the 5-talent and 2-talent servants are praised as "good and faithful" and given greater responsibilities. However, the master is furious with the third servant for his laziness, takes his money away, and punishes him.
Key Takeaways
God’s Trust: The "talents" in the story represent the varied resources, time, and abilities God has entrusted to you.
Faith over Fear: The first two servants were willing to take risks out of faith in their master's goodness. The third servant was paralyzed by fear and a distorted view of the master's character.
Accountability: The story highlights that everyone will be held accountable for how they use what they are given.
Civil Servants are mostly like the 3rd. They avoid risk, making them poor stewards of the commonwealth. Others, like Fauci, abuse the commonwealth for personal gain (personal gain of function research kickbacks)
Plus the highest salary of any US public civil servant. I think Fauci understood the value of "intangible assets" such as that which a successful mRNA vaccine development system would produce and the post-retirement profits he could generate based upon his reputation and contacts alone.

The ancient Hindu and Budhist masters had it figured out 2600+ years ago!

Yeah, and gone into Space… and solved problem of "fair salaries" there? ;-p
That's why you cannot say anything about it, as source of your wisdoms are so out there…)))))))
Yes, they abandoned the defense of their country and spent all their wealth on monasteries dedicated to navel gazing and spinning prayer wheels.
The first temptation of Christ. Avoid risk.
