False Promises

Following on from my mini tome on "its Only Business", here is the sequel. False promises is a great euphemism for what I want to say for so much of what goes on in our world. Day to day life is replete with false promises from government, business and industry, and people we know. (Backstabbers be aware - we do know you are there). Do I even really need to delineate how many false promises we hear everyday? Hey, our whole society is built for the most part on these false and unfulfillable promises - unless perhaps you are in the one percent.

As we live our life based on these inconsistencies, the mechanisms to continue to delude us to believing them proliferate through the media. We can only help but become delusional about reality - until IT happens. When IT happens though, it does seem we may achieve some clarity on reality. Eyes wide shut to eyes wide open.

You Know, It's Only Business

I love the expression that it is "only business". What a great excuse for terrorizing the psyche of friends, foes, and associates as you ruin (in most cases) their lives. "Your fired",  "Sorry, it's only business."

It is a sad society where something being business justifies almost any and all abuses on others. Yes, dollars are more important than people, and people with more dollars are more important than those with less dollars. (This is why for example when I am cut off by someone driving a Lexus SUV I do not get angry - I know they are more important than me ... But that is another tale I think.)

What I deduce from all of this among many other things is that business has at no point any interest in humanity or people. But then many others have realized this before me. But like you, I am just working for a living, and subject to taking what the dollarmasters are giving.
