I don't think most people in the world think this way.
But I do think it is the difference between majority of those that are the haves and those that are the have nots.
Most of the "haves" don't operate in restrictions. The "have nots" do.
Having "integrity" puts a stymie on your actions. There is a limit to what you will and will not do.
Most of the haves will do whatever it takes, even if it means crossing the line hear or there. (A good example is that dude from the Fyre Festival willing to take one for the team. As gay as that was, that is the mentality of most successful people).
I say all of this to say, if you're poor, and have dreams of making it big, but have restrictions on far you are willing to go, you just need to chalk it up and be content with your lot in life.
Because you don't have the right mentality to make it big within the society that we live in.
You're absolutely right, but there are some businesses you can escape that. Monique can make 40 racks a weekend selling out clubs. Look at Dave. Comedy the goat business
If you in a regular business and got morals you done though. Everyone's always plotting.
