WHO says that you Can GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING?

 

WHO says that you CAN GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING?  Tell it to the marines, bro.  Have you ever met that  person WHO's always trying to get a good deal?  Please DON'T get me wrong it's been embedded within me to always get a good deal [BUT OUT OF SOMETHING, like a fair deal].  Instead, I'm referring to a person WHO's always trying to get SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.  The one WHO's always looking out for NUMBER ONE, NO matter WHAT OR WHO gets in their way.  DON'T get me wrong BUT my take is that these are the types of people WHO are the very epitome of TAKERS because they get their self-worth and their need for significance based on WHAT they get from other people📗📙📘

Before I get whacked, please DON'T get me wrong.  I'm NOT even referring to those perennial bettors WHO, after donkey years, continue to dutifully buy and place their bets to hit that LOTTO jackpot because those folks are GIVING OUT something [in exchange for those hopes that one day, they will hit pay dirt].  Instead, for that insignificant few [BUT they're still quite a number], their personal ethics tend to be 'loose' and they DON'T mind taking advantage of a situation OR a person if it benefits them even just a little👎👎👎

WHICH reminds me of the movie 'TRUE GRIT' where a girl is so determined to get after the criminal WHO killed her father and without mincing words, she said that the criminal fancied himself 'SCOT FREE BUT HE WAS WRONG. HE HAS TO PAY EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD'.  Inversely, there's the parallelism here to our thread and this solidifies my personal take here that NOTHING IS REALLY FREE IN LIFE.  NOT even WHEN someone commits a crime.  NOT even WHEN one is angling to hit that LOTTO jackpot❎❎❎

In the nasty realities, we did hear SOME [just a minuscule percentage] WHO get into marriage 'SIZING UP' the assets and deficits of the potential partner.  This mindset gets more screwed WHEN that person declares [within himself] that if my eventual partner ends up NOT the partner I expected, then "I'LL NOT PUT IN THE EFFORT TO BE THAT IDEAL PARTNER TOO".  Can we see how BACKWARDS and selfish that frame of mind is?  Regardless of culture OR religion, I can't fathom marriage vows having this clause "AS LONG AS IT BENEFITS ME".  BUT dude, that is NOT the basis in marriages, right?  Otherwise, regrettably, we will find ourselves in a world of hurt.  And that hurt will cost us more than we could ever realize😗😗😗

Our takeaway:  Without singling out cultures OR nationalities, through the years, I always [AS IN ALWAYS] hear OR read a specific nationality being singled out practically everywhere [e.g. in Reddit, Quora.com, TikTok, name it] WHO are more 'notoriously' infamous for that sort of perceived mindset of being more focused to get SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.  BUT to be fair to that nationality, in 99% of narratives, it's NOT really 'FOR NOTHING' because they still dip into their pocket [except that they tend to prefer the BEST DEAL EVER].  Having said that, YES dude, WHO says that we can GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING?  Tell that to the marines!!!
