believing that just a piece of paper would stop a signatory. You are businessman like me. Contract is a contract. The Rule of the Law. I am also aware of Karma. (This below happened long time when were were on our 20s.) My brother in law was a guy who trusted no one. He was so crooked that he thought everybody was a crook too. Whatever I was doing, either maintain a car properly and paying for the manual services I was deemed naive and stupid. One Friday returning home my bus passenger companion put his wallet in the back pocket of the seat and forgot it as he disembarked before the bus terminal I got the wallet because I saw myself as the best chance he would get it back instead of giving it to the bus driver. i opened it up to see how I could return it. There was his salary for the month. It amounted to about 20% of mine then. It was the salary of a cadet. I found an envelope with a letter. He had stop his studies and entered the military police as his girlfriend got pregnant. And she was saying to him they would make it. As I knew the HQ back in the city where my project base was, I would return it coming Monday. I told that to my brother in law, he said: "Burn the papers not to incriminate yourself and spend the money." "This is the money of family man with a young family!" I was shocked! He said: "This will teach him a lesson to take better care of his money." Next Monday back to my project base, I told my boss, a German guy, I need a car -mine was not our of service yet- he threw the keys of his private car across the room and told to rush there pronto! The sentinel allowed me to park in front as I need to delivery a wallet and he was asking "you found ID inside the guys wallet?: as he dialed a number. He told me the guy was under arrest for losing his ID (this was Brazil of the 70s.) The guy came running. I told him: Everything is there. Now count your money. He pulled the money and wanted to compensate me. I declined and told to be careful next time. Then I had a 3 minute call paid by the company to call home every week. My former wife was extactic and said "I am jumping on the bed." The insurance company used to pay her company's employees a bonus end of the year. It was 5 4 3 2 1 monthly salaries. She got a 5 month salary bonus. Let's go to La Maison Basque and eat a Chateaubrian Flambee au Cognac! and we went. I thought. This is Karma. Imagine what could have happened to us if I had done what my brother in law told me to do? I am still working and never got rich with dirty deals even though I worked in the most corrupt countries in the world, perhaps because I am naive...
