Imagine three brothers whose father just died. Nobody really liked him but he owned a lot of businesses all over town, which he split the ownership of between his three sons.
- The first son gets the CEO position of a powerful corporation, including his own private jet
- The second son gets the father’s shipping company and his yacht
- The last son gets ownership of a small funeral home that isn’t doing very well
The first son becomes a total jerk who sleeps around and cheats on his wife constantly.
The second son adopts the culture of the sailors at the docks and develops an aggressive personality
The third son’s company is more of a reliability than an asset, but through hard work he makes it work. He’s not very comforting to the grieving costumers, but his prices are fair and he treats them with respect. He marries a wife who helps him run the funeral home. The place is a success, despite its dreariness.
This is literally Greek Mythology.
Um holy shit
