Franchisees frequently betray franchisees and think that behaviour is independent of consequences.
What I do now won’t affect me in the future.
That:
- “him/them” are separate from “me/us”,
- a non-action (refusing to support) isn’t a positive betrayal (other, self- and group),
- sending a peer leader to their certain economic crucifixion or breakdown is their problem not mine,
- the certain retaliation shame will wash away,
- moral laws are for children, losers, or the weak-minded, or
- being smart means denying emotion by compartmentalizing the “ethical issue” into one hour on the weekend.
They choose immediate comfort for the next-to-impossible task of trusting themselves and breaking their mind’s chains.
They’re wrong.
Life deals with arrogance, greed, sloth and selfishness in a surprisingly immediate and usually harsh manner.
I have seen this for franchisees and I have it on very good authority that the sins of a franchisor are dealt with in the material world.
In WWII concentration camps, some prisoners chose a similar strategy to cope with significantly more difficulties.
… a prisoner who worked inside German Nazi concentration camps during World War II in certain lower administrative positions (prisoner-functionary)…Kapos received more privileges than normal prisoners, towards whom they were often brutal. They were often convicts who were offered this work in exchange for a reduced sentence or parole.
Explain this to your parents, again please, that what is said her is untrue and that life-changing moral decisions happen only to other people.
God knows no one’s ever had to navigate hard times historically.
