Sadly, if you keep going, you might run out of people to do business with.


Are you trying to convince me that I should lower my standards, or are you sharing in my despair for the reality we find ourselves in?


Just lamenting the situation. Most people just taking advantage of each other for some extra digits in their bank account, and you either have to play the game or lose by default.


>lose by default

I don't believe that's true. I've found success in my personal life this way, and the journey is more important than the destination. Will success really feel like success if I achieve it in ways I think are morally wrong? I doubt it. It's true I can't eat my integrity, but I've not yet found myself in a situation where that is a factor.
