Worth Noting:
- If the visitor is driving a luxurious car they will think he is looking for people to work for him so they will tend to be friendly blind to the fact that if he target those living in low status estates his target salary is relatively low compared to higher end estate dwelling people.
- While attending an interview a candidate try to be in their best clothing for the occasion where possible most expensive so that any materialistic interviewee may see the upper hand in a certain candidate aware that he is a man of means as portrayed by the value of his dressing.
We live in a materialist world, and materialism appeals so strongly to humanity, no matter where. …………….. Wole Soyinka
Those who live in highly organized societies will tend to judge their people with the impact of their actions more than the physical looks. They are aware that the filthy rich do not need to showcase their wealth to be respected or feared. They have confidence in themselves hence no need for justification from the external parties. They will try to offer solutions to issues in an amicable way rather than promote fear to get their way in a challenging issue at expense of the less privileged. To them every challenge is an opportunity to make changes that will better mankind.
In a dysfunctional society fear and intimidation are the order of the day. The physically strong will be used to scare the rest as their sponsored get a field day in any issue that encourages competition of resources. The means towards achieving your mighty will not be questioned rather the terror you are capable of causing will make you famous.
New entrants in the zone will be seen as vulnerable and the senior operatives will short change them no matter how better of the new comers may seem that is why a visitor in a slum is likely to have his possessions stolen by the locals even if he is physically stronger than them they will use crude weapons and threaten to harm him instead of being happy with him as a visitor and giving him a warm welcome.
However if the visitor is driving a luxurious car they will think he is looking for people to work for him so they will tend to be friendly blind to the fact that if he target those living in low status estates his target salary is relatively low compared to higher end estate dwelling people.
While attending an interview a candidate try to be in their best clothing for the occasion where possible most expensive so that any materialistic interviewee may see the upper hand in a certain candidate aware that he is a man of means as portrayed by the value of his dressing.
The dressing when seemingly worth a lot will make all those he meets along the way as he heads towards the interview panel to respect him suspecting that he will be in the management team of the company hence they will be under him. The external observers will also think that where he lives he has posh life as he seems to be a man of means. Few will care of his school of thought as an idiot may prefer to be in neat suit to hoodwink those he interact with.
Unkempt hair will tend to show you in negative unless you are a well-known public figure no matter all the other positive attributes you may have. What is visible to people is judged to be a reflection of what is within you but this is not always the case.
A nicely dressed con will wreck a lot of havoc in the society as many will not be suspicious of him as they apply face value in judging people. He will be notified of highly sensitive issues as he will be thought to be at risk from the perceived enemies of the society.
An adage goes that as the forest continued to shrink the trees kept voting for the axe claiming that its handle belongs to one of them. This means that despite the metal head of axe being used to cut down the trees the trees continued to associate with it just because its handle is wooden forgetting that whenever the axe is at work the lives of its members are at stake. To them metal being of higher value than wood is something to make the wish to be associate with the axe. That is how materialistic the trees can be.
A promiscuous wealth person will tend to attract many people who are aware of his or her wayward lifestyle simply because they will think that they can benefit from his or her possessions ignoring the dangers that are associated with such relationships as it will be difficult to deal with the boss when things go haywire as well as failure to question the cause of the heightened irresponsibility of that well moneyed individual.
