St. Nick, canonized in 343, and Santa Claus, conceptualized around 1650, ponder the world. They believe that a child thinks the world is wonderful - until something goes wrong. Their immediate reaction is anger - quickly followed by fear. Will it happen again? Adoption of a "ME FIRST" attitude is almost automatic. Then, as the child strives and racks up successes it is surrounded by envy. This leads to strife, the antithesis of peace. To overcome this situation, the pair design a self-perpetuating organization which initially helps the helpless but ultimately helps the helpless help themselves.
