You walk into a pawn shop or a jewelry store with some jewelry, they take a look at it, tell you it’s out a fashion… the quality is poor…! You walk back in the next day to buy it -and it’s talkit’s top knot stuff.*
I never lied to a friend I do business with about how much I paid for something – As much as I would have liked to, as much as it probably would have helped me. But I can guarantee you that on more than one occasion he has liked to me about how much money he had invested in something he was selling me.
*Human beings use numerous means to gain advantage, to come out ahead… How many lies did my father tell his mother to get that money for drugs and women and gambling? How many lies did I tell that poor woman -for drugs?
