SUPPLEMENTAL POST 1
If you read our History and Charter, you may feel as though we sound more like a charity, rather than a company that offers products and services in trade. Well, if you live life based on the concept of charity, then you see those that you give charity to as second-class individuals.
When you trade with another individual, you approach them as an equal, who has something of value to offer. When you see someone as a charity case, you see them as having nothing of value to offer.
When asked about the issue of charity, one of our original founders was quoted as saying,
Charity slowly robs a man of his dignity and self-esteem,
Thus once you have stolen it all,
You have taken everything of value he has.
