In my many years as an investigator I have become hardened to the fact that given an inch most people will take a mile. I don’t pretend to understand why this is the case and why given the opportunity most individuals will undoubtedly chose to do wrong instead of right. I’m sure that there is a college course devoted to this very question; in fact I think somewhere in my past collegiate experience I did take such a class. And I’m sure all angles were explored and debated but for my current purposes I will keep it short and direct. “I don’t trust anyone, until the trust is earned”. Too many times in this profession I am faced with the reality of humanity.
Here is the one fact that I face most every day, “given the opportunity some people will fake injuries in order to collect a measly check”. Even worst, men as well women, will cheat on their spouse for a single night of pleasure (simplification). Is it worth it? The answer for me is a resounding “NO”. People do get injured but injuries do not last forever. Go to work like the rest of us. Get up early, and go earn your keep. A well-functioning society needs us all in order to exist. Yes, it is easy to sit home and stay in your pajamas while watching your favorite mini-series, but life is not meant to be easy. That’s not to say that life needs to be hard either just that one must give purpose to one’s own existence. Even simpler, its plain thievery to stay home collecting money from insurance companies when there is nothing wrong with you. You are stealing from us all and inevitably driving up costs.
Now, to the unfaithful in marriage. If you are unhappy, just ask for a separation or divorce. Why hurt someone you supposedly love or had loved at one time or another. There is no need to rub salt onto wounds. If you find it so easy to cheat, why get married in the first place. Keep in mind how many lives your choices will impact. Stop the cycle of pain. Your lies will be discovered.
Think of the lessons you’re teaching your children. Think of the person you really are hurting. Think of yourself. Or maybe don’t, Maybe I should just thank you for keeping me employed, in fact disregard this whole article and go about your ways. We will of course go about ours.
