Foolish

During my first year of college, I enrolled in a psychology course at the local junior college. Our first day, the professor initiated a discussion on the general nature of the human race. He proposed an argument to the class based on the premise that people were born evil and did not turn evil. I always had a hard time swallowing the concept despite the controversy of that discussion. There were many valid points of fact brought up that day, yet my personal belief was that humans turn evil and are not born with that thinking.

Recently, I was taken complete advantage of with a work at home scheme which reminded me of that first day of higher education. In this present world, job seekers are searching for that perfect scenario of being their own boss and performing work in the comfort of their home office. Luckily, I have that option in my current 'legitmate' position. However, with the current state of our economy, I set out on a quest to earn extra income and supplement my single family household.

With that, I learned the hard way that people prey on the needs and wants of others more now than ever. It validated my previous feelings of distrust with others. I attempted to follow the senseless training manual from this 'alleged' company. To my dismay, I realized that I was just a catalyst in the disgusting scheme to scam others the same way that I had just been subjected to.

The guilt factor set in and now I'm on a mission to let others know that if it sounds too good to be true, it definitely is. We must not be victims of the predators and call those companies (or individuals) on their activities.

Words of wisdom and lesson learned the hard way.
