The tie of the bankers

The use of the tie between those working in the financial system, suggests rationality in the administration of the money deposited.

We agree that the money can be used for purposes both noble and ignoble purposes. Both can use it to buy the necessities of life (food, clothing, shelter), as we can use it to buy supplies to kill (weapons).

Another distinction can make thinking that we can use both rationally and passionately, both to stimulate production to stimulate wasteful spending.

Both can use it with an attitude austere, to produce as many beneficiaries as a spendthrift attitude, to squander it on a few luxuries, vices, ostentation.

Our mind is predisposed to think that from the neck down our instincts are more earthly, worldly, hedonistic and, from the neck up (head, brain, mind), staying the ideas, spirit, art, sublime, religiosity, intelligence that puts us above the rest of living beings.

This predisposition to think so is just that: a prejudice. Actually we are a unit. The Cartesian division heart and soul is an unprovable concept ... but for those who can not imagine living without it would be impossible to leave this dualism.

These considerations preface my comments referred to using his tie as a pledge almost exclusively male.

While it is true that this piece of cloth could represent the penis, in which case there would be a perverse exhibitionism, also seems to indicate more significant separation between the body drastically lower and the higher mind.

Note that the use of the tie is almost mandatory in the financial system, where depositors are telling them something like, "will manage their money fairly, without squandering it on vices."
