Button Speaking. 1984.

I stared at the button, it stared back at me. I asked it the time, and it said it did not matter. I asked it the news and it said it did not matter. I asked it the weather and it said it did not matter. I asked it its political viewpoints and it said it didn't matter. I asked it what did matter and it said to me this: Nothing matters but relationships, and being able to fasten things together. I asked it if it said this because it was a button and it replied to me no. I asked it why then? and it replied to me: Because how can you be kept warm without a fastened coat? How can you protect your neck from the cold without a fastened collar? Now, think of all the things that could be fixed with buttons. Think of all the things that have been fixed with buttons, only to be popped out by a piggish body. Think of all the times buttons have been taken out and mitchmatch buttons have been put in their place. Think of all the surgery done on coats, think of how many have been thrown away without their buttons. Do you understand now what I say? You can not have successful politics without a fastener, nor a oneness with weather, nor functional relationships, nor positive news. But you know the interesting thing, you need to be willing to find the fastener. Too many relationships don't recognize the button, because they're too concerned about the unfastened parts. However, it's funny, because most people I see do not try to look at the buttons, maybe because they're always buttoned? Or maybe just because they're always negative. So, my friend, I implore of you to return to your people. Tell them you spoke with a button. Tell them how important that is. Tell them to fasten their shirts, their collars, their coats. Tell them that a simple fasten can change the world.
