Unscrupulous Business Owners and Justice

Fri Apr 26, 2013

Editor: Society’s foundation is its people and these are of all ages. The young should be taught values and good qualities at a very early age. Some benefited but some who strayed are influenced by their peers and adults around them. The older folks have many sayings which have proven true on numerous occasions. For example “The upholder is just as bad or even worse than the thief.”{{more}}

Many factors should be taken into consideration when some young people stray. At times they fall prey to the bad influence of persons of their own age or some adults whom they are trying to identify with, to their own downfall. To this end we have to instill in them, at every opportunity, the right course to take and assure them that if they stick to it, it is for their upliftment.

Some adults are very cunning. They will befriend some young ones and impress upon them their evil ways in subtle ways, giving them the impression that they have their welfare at heart, when they are bent on achieving their own selfish ends.

We should be wary of this sort and business owners who stoop to the low level of doing business with minors.

It appears that the justice system, by dismissing persons’ claims in this regard, is giving them more road to walk in pursuing their unscrupulous acts by dismissing others claims when these ones think they have a valid reason for doing so.

In fact, persons are beginning to believe that our justice system is more lenient to the lies than the truth.

But on the other hand, since we are dealing with imperfect ones in an imperfect world, it may appear that these ones are out to please certain ones at times. Yet still, they deserve to be applauded for weren’t it for them, there will be endless chaos and only those who feel it know it. Many of us won’t know what it is like to be in their places.

A keen observer
