This is how villians are born! 

The negative psychological response to real world disappointments — the exact opposite of: forgiveness, “turning a frown upside down”, or, “turning the other cheek”. REVENGE is thought to be a better path; and, a person’s life becomes defined by a pivotal event that changes their outlook on life and perceived reality. In the words of Bob Dylan: “When you’ve got nothing; you’ve got nothing to lose”.

He was arrested and beaten by the police because he fit a profile. Found not guilty by a jury of his peers and exonerating evidence, he was freed after losing everything including his good name. THIS IS HOW VILLIANS ARE BORN!!!!!!!

This is business; not personal. 

This is business; not personal. — “THIS IS BUSINESS, NOT PERSONAL”, is perhaps the most seminal teaching; and, the most valuable lesson taken from the movie The Godfather. The rule foreshadowed the coming age where corporations would be considered as people and the lives of individuals would be over shadowed by the need for a corporation to continue unobstructed.

One aspect of this teaching is urging a warrior or a holy man (see Godfather 3) never to lose his or her objectivity when faced with facts.

Another aspect of this teaching — which is somewhat ironic — is that a “business decision” is always “personal” to someone. And, if you ever woke up in a bed beside a severed horses head; or, been machine gunned while pinned in a New Jersey toll booth; then the personal aspect of “business decisions” would be crystal clear.

This rule also come into sharp relief if you have ever been replaced by a machine or a non-union worker who will work for less money than you would.

It’s hard to believe that with a of the people who quote both Scarface and The Godfather, this sentence has not found its way into The Urban Dictionary in the year before 2023 C.E. That said I offer it here — and my offering is strictly business and not personal.

Amazon just replaced thousands of individual human employees with computer automation and scanners; but, This is business; not personal.
