Posing another senario

[Homicidalheathen]

Let’s say you have a issue. This guy comes along, and just with his words...He helps you solve the issue by just talking...as he CLAIMS to have had this...profound, moving experience that ANYONE could have had....but just the sheer fact it happened to a non believer, makes you really think and your moved to take the right action. He sheds light on the issue and maybe gives you a perspective you did not have before.

Fast forward 2 yrs.

You find he is MAKING A TON OF MONEY (and I am talking couple mil a yr) going around the country...telling peeps the SAME EXACT spiel in seminars.

He had already been doing this but I didn't know, so yah. I got the spiel for free as most people pay oh say 200 smackers to hear his story.

It kind of made me wonder if he didn't just figure out how to get money out of people...I am doubting that he wants to help...hell now I am doubting his personal experience on this issue at all....maybe he saw a way to make money and...as his business before, he was doing ok...but nothing like this.

Also I have a issue with people who charge when they help in this way...shouldn't some things be gifts from the almighty, or beyond and not done for PROFIT?

I was going to recommend one of his books to someone until I found out how much he is making off of this one experience.

Well, when you have experience and there is a demand for it you tend to make some money off of it...

That being said this issue applies to "professional" sports. Hell, its a damn kids game yet you can make more in one year of sitting on the damn bench than most people make in their lives. You can throw a hissy fit when you are "cheated" out of a few million and then they throw even more money at you...which doesn't even mean that you must play better...

Fools and their money. I hope he takes them for every fucking dime.
