I want to refer to my last post and offer a contrasting perspective on the points I made before. Let me know which one you agree with.
I've been reading an article about someone who lost their phone. Someone else found it and in my opinion has every right to keep it. I feel like most people in the world would give it back, but they don't have a whole lot of sense. Why should I care to return a phone to someone who was dumb enough to leave it behind in the first place? Obviously it's not as important as he makes it seem.
It's true that nice guys finish last in this world. Look at Donald Trump; the man is an absolute genius and has more money than anyone could know what to do with. He hasn't gotten to where he is by sympathizing with everyone else's minor problems. Life requires us all to take advantage of opportunities that come our way and roll with the punches that are thrown at us. Sorry, dude, but I am officially taking advantage of the punches that are hitting you right in your pocketbook!

i agree that most people would probably keep the cell phone. But i hope that people would return it. I would return because it's the right thing to do and hope in reverse someone would return something of mine. While I know that's not the world we live in a think we should all stop being so selfish and give back what we know isn't ours
ReplyDeleteHi Glen,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marisa. I believe in paying it forward and karma and that someday someone will return something to me.

We all have a duty to do the right thing, otherwise we risk the very fabric of social decency. I agree that in order to get ahead in the world, a certain amount of aggresiveness is neccessary but care must be taken as to not harm others in the excursion to capitalist gain.
ReplyDeleteI hope you all don't think I sympathize with the "writer" of this post. It is merely a contrasting perspective to my previous post.
