We're very good friends, we're "brothers". He used to be against
MLM but somehow or rather, he got convinced by the so called
communion... He told me there's potential in the company, Lampe
Berger, and wants me to be his partner, or to put it bluntly, his
downline. The thing is, I don't think MLM can ever make a person
rich unless he/she is the director or one of the elite groups at
the top of the pyramid.
I almost joined until I did my homework on MLM and to my dismay,
it's nothing but bullshit. Maths don't lie. The problem is, I laid
out the truth about MLM to my friend and the more I try, the more
he's keen on wanting me to join, telling me how different this
company is from others and how great and noble the leader, Steven
Lim is. Because I strongly feel that doing MLM will put a strain on
my relationships with friends and relatives and thus jeopardizing
my social standing, which may marr my image in the long term, I
choose not to join. Already I'm starting to get irritated by his
persistant argument that it is a get-rich-scheme although he did
not explicitly state so.
I think my friend's in a delusion thinking that MLM will make a
person get rich soon. Either that or he has become one of those
lying evil lots. My problem is not much of how to reject him, but
rather to present to him the different aspects of dangers
associated with MLM without crushing his ideals which are rooted
into it and pull him out of it before he lose his friends.
