What to do when a friend is in trouble >
Today I see that a good friend is in trouble. He is experiencing something that affects him and he cannot find an explanation to a situation he is confronted with.
Price is the trouble, I think that all of us have limits to how far we can go to meet that price. Being that this trouble is related to our 'luxurious way of life' the damage is only about one meeting with his limits.
Only price is the new weapons in our today's world, so when one see or realize that he is missing the bullets that will soften the 'injuries' the true values then resurface.
Are we to be a victim of a pricing system that some abuse when in power to the point of upsetting and breaking established relationships. Yes, because the play is based and calculated on our sentiments and emotions. In the case I have in mind it is a bit more than that, it is about a price that evolutes on the trust and value you placed in a product a brand. Is this a new form of crime? do we ought to stand aside quietly in fear of being seen to not appertaining to the system? Is it only about being on the list of few privileged few. New wars indeed!
In our historical wars one side of it is that it united people, in the pricing system it only isolate each and every one that make a justified complain or ask for an explanation, Why? Not socially correct? Not economically correct? Why does one from a complaint or a justification request needs to find that he his isolated in fighting an unjustified practice. Is Greed taking our human side away?
Many values have been destroyed for the benefit of integrating everyone in our world, will the same principle be applied to Money, or does money justifies most of us to lose our freedom, respect and integrity to those that take a justified fight because the 'pain' is too hard to accept?
A big debate it is, but I will stand high to protect any time my friendship and relationship rather than be on the payroll of greed! Or being left with no answers, all alone, made to look like a disrespected foul!
Nicholas, I feel you sorrow, I am disgusted by your recent experience and the attitude of others. If you need me, even if I have no need to add this here for you, I am right behind and in front of you, anytime needed!
