Heaven or where?

"In heaven, all the interesting people are missing?"

--Nietszche

 

I guess, it says it all. But wonder where the interesting people would spend sweet eternity? I tried to speculate below the likely places where the interesting and equally restless denizens would congregate. That is, if you agree that the kind of people I'm about to name below are indeed interesting.

a.  The capitalists, financiers, Wall Street raiders, VCs (venture capitalists) traders, economists, businessmen, salespeople, alumni of Harvard Business School, Kellog's, AIM, Ateneo Business School, etc. are likely to occupy the junction between the heaven and hell. The place is quite strategic for business opportunities and growth.

b. The UP-type (you know what I mean, come on) would probably be in the outer rim of hell. Of course, they would still be protesting for, first the lousy judgement, and second, the lousy treatment God has accorded them.

c.  The Ateneo conventual type would probably be itching to know if their UP comrades are still doing their stuff in the outer rim of eternal fire.

d.  The La Salle type are distributed in either A or C. Being in B is a rarity, if not an impossibility.

e.  Those who do not fall in either of the above may be happy to wait in purgatory for the final verdict on their appeal.

But what to you are an interesting people? After pointing out their likely tambayan, it's great to determine their qualities, right? Below are my criteria of interesting people.

1.   Maginoo ngunit medyo bastos (sorry po sa lyricist ng paborito kong kanta)

2.   Hindi masyadong mabait, pero di naman masyadong gago.
