mean machine

people have different behavior patterns and the psychologist are the ones that are the experts at analyzing the whims and fancies of many such characters and apply sense and logic to figure out what could be behind the thinking pattern.I got to know of such people who would squeeze every dime of even the poorest of people on the roads in spite of having tons of wealth back home.When it comes to sharing , giving its a no no.Grabbing and applying all the rules that are crooked they are the first.No empathy, always a reason to hold back any monies that could belong to someone else.
Why do people have such crooked mentality?
A person who started business to be on his own feet met a businessmen who rolls in money( the one that his father acquired and not him)and was offered a verbal contract to lay some tiles in the front yard of his petrol bunk, that estimated to a 3000USD work.Since it was given by a known , so called high profile person the poor entrepreneur went ahead and was to told to invest his own funds to get these tiles.The job was done and unfortunately the contractor died due to a heart attack.His family not aware of these dealings were asking for help from the concerned businessman and what they get in return was"sorry we can't do much we had paid off all our dues and that's the best we can help".The point was not they couldn't help but the dues were actually not payed and the poor family is deprived of this what is rightfully theirs.On top of that the wealthy member of this very society tells his guard on duty that as he was the only other fellow to know about this to keep quiet about the episode.What sick mentality?
These people are well connected , can twist any situation the way they want, have all the power brokers as their partners in all the businesses they set up so that in event of any issue, they stand protected.What do they get out of this behavior?Where will they repay this and when?The innocent are they "stupid" or is it that the wealthy are plain "smart "?No doubt every one wants the shorter routes to make money, twist arms, con people and get away scott free!!!!
