It's neither. How did the counterfeiter get his start?

permatext cause lazy

[bloodformoney]

Alright, I'll bite. How did the counterfeiter get his start?

HAHAHA I WAS LIKE 'HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST'

[hachimaki]

He answered an ad saying 'make money at home now!'

XD

[bloodformoney]

[That earned him a snort even if it did hurt.]

Who doesn't want to make money at home?

[hachimaki]

No one. There's a Chinese proverb that says, "I have money, and you have money; therefore, we are friends."

[bloodformoney]

But what if I want to take your money? Then we're no longer friends. Those old proverbs never hold water in the long run. Especially the Confucianism ones. They never account for basic human nature.

[hachimaki]

It comes with the assumption that companionship is more profitable than an enemy. Sometimes, in the long run, it is.

You'd know, wouldn't you?

[the irony of those words is lost on him, seeing as he doesn't know how felix wound up needing medical supplies]

[bloodformoney]

I think I would prefer the companionship of my enemies. Friends will betray you and at least with my enemies, I know to look for a knife coming at my back.

[ The bitterness in that statement carried even over text medium ]

[hachimaki]

[it's a comment that hits home with him more than he wants to admit]

[is he the one heading towards a betrayal for not putting his total faith and trust in a man he's known since childhood? the niggling questions are plaguing him far too much lately -- ]

[but that's neither here nor there, and Felix deserves his complete attention]

You strike me as the type to always be on the look for it.

So what's the difference between a friend and an enemy to you?

[bloodformoney]

Considering it was a my so-called partner who betrayed me and sentenced me to death, I'd say I have a pretty good reason to be mistrustful of those who come to you under the disguise of supposed friendship.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, there isn't one anymore. Mainly because after years in this cesspool, I wouldn't call anyone a friend. It's not very good at mending trust issues, as I'm sure you can understand.

[hachimaki]

Of course. People who claim to be after friendship all too often want something else entirely; I prefer those who are simply blunt about their desires. Like you. [haha]

Sure. But trust and attachment aren't the same thing.
