What a painful read. Im always surprised to find/meet these people who spend 20 hours per day, trying to make other people miserable. I guess I shouldn't be.



I find it odd because if they tried that hard doing something legitimate, they might be just as successful too. Maybe it stems from some kind of deep-seated insecurity about their ability to create or taking responsibility for their decisions if they fail.


I do wonder how they sleep at night. Probably see themselves as thrifty and clever.


Like babies, on pillows filled with dollar bills.

Unfortunately, humans are very good at getting used to doing the wrong thing. It's probably a survival feature, otherwise it would be too easy to trap yourself in a situation where you're paralyzed by your conscience.


Or maybe people are different and can rationalize differently.


Differently does not mean correctly, or ethically.
