This got me thinking. I wish there was a black card - for another elite group of people. One that transcends money, fame, and power. A black card that is given out only to people whose faith has been tested, resilience attacked, integrity challenged, humility confirmed, horizons expanded. And - all requirements must have been successfully met; the card will ultimately open the door to any building, any club, and is also a ticket out of any haze of confusion (speeding ticket, etc.) that may arise regarding your legitimacy as an upstanding, and above average, citizen. A black card that indicates membership to an extraordinary fellowship of people that don't cut corners, don't kiss ass, don't gossip, don't backstab, and don't have a tremendous chip in the...you get my drift. A black card based solely on strength of character.
Invite only, of course.
