The Caste

Once I saw an episode of "sex and the city" where Carrie devided the city of New York by Castes and before 2 days ago I didn't really paid much attention to it.
I was working and my boss called me and told me to personally assist some VIPs on anything they needed that day, so I put on my tennis shoes and go down to meet them.
He is a handsome, tall, dark hair, big eyes man; she's a tall, slim, blonde girl. they're a very rich couple.
He sat on my side asking me about the bussiness operations, she was talking to another employee while I showed them the installations and facilities, she was so surprise by the beauty of the place that she started asking a lot of questions and he became really mad about it, it seemed he had a tight schedule and didn't have time to go into details and then he exploded angry at her, I saw her face and she was very ashamed and then it hit me:
"The Caste"
"in the world as I know it, there is castes:
1-The Poor jinxed, this one has to work all their life, having dreams but never having the resources to achieve it. (not commenting about this one below, sad story)
2-The half-lucky poor, this one works all their life, and achieve their dreams half way.
3- The dreamer, this person belongs to a high-middle class who had the opportunity to study and achieve most of their dreams, met someone from a higher caste and have to put up with a lot of stuff because of it.
4-The he-she, this person is in the highest class, is gay, most of their friends are gay too and they work as designers, party planners or showbiz.
5-The lucky Bastard, this one is the succesful bussiness man, who has everything he wants and think he can have any woman in the world, so the one at his side has to put up with anything he wants or does.

She is "the dreamer" who thinks she has the prince charmed (and for minutes she does) and he is the lucky bastard who can do whatever he wants because he has money, and he lets her notice that.

now being said that, I guess I want to be the half-lucky poor or the lucky bastard, in either way I'll have to work and will achieve my dreams half way or completely, but I would never like to be "the dreamer", waiting for somebody who will never appreciate me and be waiting for someone to appreciate me.

and trust me on this, the he-shes are always a pain in the @#$%, not because of being gay (I like gay people) but because they think they are artists and usually drive us (the ones that work in customer service) CRAZY.

if you know of any other caste you want to comment, please feel free to do write me!
