.... or do almost anything if they think that it will gain them more money, more love or more respect. It's all rather sad, to say nothing of counter-productive. Money earned through insincere action is soon wasted on unnecessarily indulgence. Love attained through a false promise is soon lost. Recognition given to an empty gesture is rapidly replaced by criticism.
