As I came across the Scientology (the atheist religion which Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is a great supporter of) Center on 46th Street, they showed me a 15 minute introductory video (on psychology pertaining to erratic behavior or, "reactive mind" as they call it, and subconscious impression or, "engrams", as they call it).<\/p>\n
After that, a lady tried to sell me their main book "Dianetics" by Ron Hubbard, written 50 years ago...the supposedly modern science of mental health. When I refused, she asked, as if she sincerely cared, that if I couldn't even afford $20. Now this is the second time I was confronted by this sort of business tactic. The first time was when I was trying to buy medicine for my mother's shingles condition.<\/p>\n
Not that because people say this, we should reject or accept the offer, but it is the whole motive of asking the question: "Can't you even afford...". In the business world, this is a display of contradiction, or as the Chinese say: Spear and Shield (One who yelled that his spears can penetrate any shields while also claiming that his shields could defend against all spears).<\/p>\n
If I couldn't afford it, what are you going to do? Is it really so good that you are going to give it to me for free?<\/p>\n
If I could afford it, what then? Is it really that good that I must buy? Would it mean that I couldn't afford it if I refuse to buy? If I refuse to buy a doll, does it mean that I couldn't afford it. If I wish to sell you my street-bought watch for $20, could you afford to buy it? <\/p>\n
Therefore, if you are not going to give it to me for free, why ask if I could afford it? <\/p>\n
