CGS want money, not “reasons”.
We don’t operate on a rational level when we gamble.
We don’t want to hear the words we need to hear.
We have selective memories, fluctuating moods, flawed consciences and distorted thinking at every level.
“NO” is all we need to hear but it must be followed up with firm action.
I will give you a personal example. I was marooned in a casino once. Miles away. Totally wiped out. No way home. I phoned a “good friend” who “owed me one”, saying “I just need 50 for petrol PLEASE. I’m really stuck”
The answer came fast
“TOUGH”!!!!
I got the message.
When it comes to enabling, CGS are very fast learners.
We learn who NOT to ask !
