"Mama is now the successful owner of a spa"

This story is repeatedly broadcasted on the radio.

But it is only one story.

The broadcaster is asking for more similar stories.

It is sickenening.

Mama was once with the military. Quitted and tried other jobs. Got retrenched. Did some courses and so on. And now Mama is a "successful owner of a spa".

Oh c'mon!

Doth one swallow a summer maketh?

There are ten red balls in a bin of ten thousand black ones. You keep and count only the red balls you draw. And then you tell the world that you can get red balls as long as you keep dipping into the bin.

That's not the story.

That's not the whole truth.

And that makes it a lie.

How much does it cost to dip into the bin? How many times must you dip before you get a red ball?

For every Mama that becomes a successful owner of a spa, how many didnt make it? What happened to them?

It is not those like Mama who succeeded that is the concern, but those that did not. What are their stories?

Selling false hope is worst then telling people that there is no hope.

But people have become immuned to this.

They have gotten used to the 'lottery' mind set. As long as there is chance, no matter how miniscule, it is still better than none, and they will live on. As long they make past one day to the next, they are OK.

They rather be deluded and come into the light.
