ermz.. sorry, i don't mean to challenge, but the whole story
from start to end is almost meant to show a message. whoever and
whatever message it is, a story can be cooked up to support it. How
real is this?
a friend who tried to sell me something (not insurance), told me
that you never when you need it. She told me to imagine in a
desert, and you're thirsty. you came across a first man, and you
asked for water and offered money, but he only has ties, and offers
you to buy one. you move on, feeling even more dehydrated, you came
to the second man. you asked for water and offered more money. He
still only has ties, and ask you to buy one. You move on, coming to
yet a third man, and you asked for water and offered all your
money. But he again only have ties.. you're moved only and almost
dying, but managed to come a very luxury place, and you can hear
people splashing into a pool behind the walls. At the door, the
bouncer said only people with ties can go in.
The actual moral of the story, i don't want to say, because like i
said, these stories already have an agenda. the conclusion is
already drawn before the story is made, and therefore it only has
entertainment value.
sorry for being a spoil sport
