Why I get fucked.
I know why I get fucked every so often yet I still have not changed my ways. Is it insanity, stupidity, naivety, or just being a good person?
I still like to think all people are good at heart. I like to think I can trust people to do the right thing. Sure I know I may get fucked and do not go into a deal or arrangement with blinders on, so I can live with it when it happens. Of course the person fucking you also needs to live with knowing the did people wrong in their lives.
I also like to give people a chance. This often leads to great amounts of disappointment. Yet still I feel it is the proper thing to do. I know at various times in my life other had given me a chance and without that I would not be in the position where I can offer it to others if I choose.
I like to help others out with advice, tactics, referrals, and insight. I often send people business all of the time. I know I will rarely be thanked and often they will forget I exist if and when they make it. I know some speak about kickbacks and such which I always do myself, though I have never received one to date. (I have been paid up front for some advice or help though, or promised payment if I helped)
I also do not like to over price or gouge people. I know this one is probably one of the more moronic ones. Though I still feel the need to charge people what I think is fair for something and not some figure I pulled from the heavens.
