the young handsome boy or girl imagines their beauty is a passport
You said:
I know what it is like to befriend the moneyed and beautiful sons and daughters of the Ivy League and to watch them drive off when the fun is over; I know the sickening flush you feel when the historic room you are standing in, where canapes are served on silver platters by obsequious caterers of unknown descent, becomes a room in which you are the very thing that does not belong -- a thing to be removed, a thing to move away from lest unpleasantries erupt.
Ah yes - the young handsome boy or girl imagines their beauty is a passport, but it is instead a visa with an unexpectedly abrupt expiration date. Those who do not belong to the world of obscene wealth and privilege can be so easily and cruelly seduced by its reptilian children, who are as quickly disgusted by the ease of the seduction as they are bound to commit it. Heady days, these days of seduction, but they are a fleeting illusion that lasts only until a more interesting or beautiful diversion arrives. All the worlds a whore house and pretty young men and women will be fucked - literally or figuratively - by power and wealth before they lose their freshness.
Tell the young man to go where he pleases, love who loves him and stop trying to be "relevant".
