Our friend woke up one morning and decided not to go to work. And after spending his day hanging out, he went home and fell asleep and woke up the second day and decided not to go back to work. He did not give a specific reason, but he blamed this and that.
Days passed and his salary stopped after he was absent from work. The monthly bills arrived, so he paid them from friends' pockets. Five months passed and his owner asked him to pay the rent, so he went to a friend and took the money on the grounds that he was not working and paid it to the owner of the house.
A year passed and a business idea popped up in his mind, so he put it to an investor friend, and I liked the latter, and they started to draw up a business plan. When they reached the implementation stage, he asked the investor to finance his trip to another country with a factory that could manufacture the product and obtain what he wanted.
He returned to his residence, found the rental bills, and took them to his friend, who is investing in a potential business, and asked him to pay the bills so that he could develop the idea and the pretext that the idea was very successful if it was applied and our owner could not think correctly and the house bill worries him. He had what he wanted.
Six months later, that is two years since he left his job, our friend asked for two payments, the first to add changes to the product and the second to rent it. The poor investor paid the informers to our friend, but he told him this is the last time, and you will not get anything because the project has not progressed an inch.
Our friend felt resentful and went to another friend and complained to him about the situation and asked him to convince the investor and explain to him the importance of continuing the flow of money until the idea saw the light. Al-Wafi went to convince the investor who closed the door completely and accused our friend of exploitation.
Al-Wafi returned to our friend, and the latter gave him accumulated bills for his rent, and told him to pay, please, otherwise I will be evicted. He paid! Years passed, and the loyalist pays the rent for the house, but our qualified friend rejects every job opportunity that comes with him. He eats and drinks at a good friend, goes out for walks with the loyal who pays the rent, rolls up the business idea and puts it in place.
Six years after our friend decided to leave his job, the loyal decided to stop paying the rent and informed our friend of the necessity to make ends meet or leave the house. Our friend turned to al-Tayyib, and the latter told him that he could not pay, but he would open his house for our friend if he needed accommodation.
Our friend's secrets were released, and he handed over his dwelling, and he moved to the good, ate and drinking. A full decade has passed since he left work, and our friend blames some and praises the good that he sheltered and rejects every job opportunity.
Why did the investor, loyal and kind person assume that our friend's account was free of funds? And why did they accept its exploitation for a long time? How do they know if he is running a business behind their backs and amassing money somewhere?
Sometimes emotion overwhelms us, blinds us to many matters and burdens us with things beyond our power that hinder the achievement of our interests, and even if we are capable, why spend on those who are not worthy?
