RE: If the world isn't fair then why should you ?
It doesn't sound good in any way.
I live in Romania, a country plagued with corruption, a large proportion of the people are "bending" the rules, they saw the ones in high places were corrupt and they starter to bend it a little and then more and then more and now they support the corrupt government so they can continue to bend the law a little. It's toxic and it's what drives corruption at all levels. I am researching methods to reduce it and so far the biggest bet is education and civics.
Which is why I reacted when I saw your post :D
I maintain my point. You don't have to "bend" rules to make it anywhere.
I am also assuming that you are not very poor by your reluctance to give me the results or telling me what you miss in your life the most. I can explain but I don't want you to be influenced by my data..
@alexdory, sorry to hear about what is happening in your country, the same thing is also happening in mine, so I can relate.
Should society continue to favor a few at the expense of many? why should people who work harder make so little, it doesn't make sense. The you think it is right for people to remain where they are simply because you want them to follow rules that don't favor them but only a few.
I appreciate your comments, but bending is not the same thing as breaking because in your country both the politicians and the masses are breaking the rules, while calling it bending.
What is bending the rules then?
Give me a few examples, please!
very good!
If the rule says you have to wake up every morning doing the same job everyday as a good law abiding citizen, then bending the rule could mean taking a different approach, you could learn to invest like the rich and overtime you could become rich. It doesn't mean that you will become a thief in a bid to make a quick buck, No! it just means you have to do things differently.
This is not bending anything, this is just being smart, if you have the gift of making the money.
However the investments need to also be good, not just look good. Being an investor means that you need to stimulate the economy, being a speculator in a crypto market is hardly what we are talking about. It makes money and others are doing it but it does the company selling the shares no good. In order to win by speculating someone else needs to lose. And it's not going to be rich people usually.
So invest in a services company, invest in a webdesign company, invest in something that has a future. My 2 cents :P
Then, what's bending the rules called ?
I don't know the definition. Rules are either followed or not.
Having a regular job is not a rule. You can be an investor, follow a liberal profession, be a freelancer and still follow the rules.
If having a regular job would be a life rule, then life would be a prison for some :D
I know lots of people who work without a regular schedule.
And as for what we have talked before, you can watch this is you have the time, I swear that you will like the conclusions:
It's not all about that, but you will find some information about how the poor are less poor since 1965...
It's just misconceptions that we are locked in poverty globally.
