You know how there's the saying of "sold your soul to the devil"
Do you think this is literally possibly true? To me if there's a soul then it wouldn't "belong" to me so how could I sell it? It'd belong to whoever creates souls wouldn't it?

@HoraceGreenley seen it?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@KaiserSolze it doesn't happen all at once
KaiserSolze · 46-50, F
@HoraceGreenley ok. How?

@KaiserSolze slowly you get seduced. You get given things you don't think you deserve. You get used to them. Later the threat is that these things will be taken away unless you do as you are told.

Most commonly its with a promotion and higher salary. Later on you find out the price.

@HoraceGreenley ok, maybe that's why I don't like stuff 🤔 lol I tend to use a song line tho to remind me "you can fall for chains of silver or you can fall for chains of gold..."

@KaiserSolze that's how it's done. It's not just the money. It's the title, responsibility and the prestige.

@HoraceGreenley I don't like any of those things so maybe I'll be ok. I like to be no one, with nothing, minimal responsibility and ego boosts because they're... Ummm soul destroying lol couldn't think of another way to say it.
I think you're right. And Martin the First about eating off the devil's table was his way of saying it. So can I be hiding under it just nibbling bits of others feast or is that just as bad? Lol

@KaiserSolze that's how organizations get people to do unethical or illegal things
KaiserSolze · 46-50, F
@HoraceGreenley ummm I guess. Unless the individual just likes doing unethical or illegal things and then they're doing it for fun so they don't loose their soul in those cases?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@KaiserSolze this is the case where a person never did those things before

@HoraceGreenley what if they secretly wanted to but didn't until the risk was worth the gain but they did it for kicks just the same?
