Vintner you have a really bad attitude that someone is going to cheat you our of a nickel and that will only cause you unrest for the rest of your life. I would advise you to look toward generosity, compassion and kindness for you salvation. You really seem to come up short in those departments. Don't you want to leave this world knowing you helped all living creatures as best you could? Tough love is bullshit Vintner. Gentle love is what establishes ones validity as a human being.
