“The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero
The story of a couple who were sued for $65 million dollars over a pair of pants shows just what can happen. A man brought in two pair of pants for alteration. One pair were completed on time and the other not quite ready.
When the customer came back, he claimed they were not his.
Additionally, the customer wanted more than $1000 for the cost of a brand-new suit and the couple said no. The alteration was only $10.50...but the lawsuit was on.
The owners of the store won out in court through support of donations for lawyer fees which dragged on for more than two years. Yet the business was sold as the strain both financially and mentally wore them down.
A couple is put out of business, our society moves on.
All we can say is that issues get "overlawyered". It is life throwing stuff at us which we just would not expect. My hope is that the Chungs will recover both financially and personally. An enduring positive belief in themselves and in the goodness of others will pull them to better times.
When you find yourself in a tough spot, remember you're not alone.
There are others who are suffering just as much if not more. You will get through the situation and move on. Just have faith and belief in yourself and in others just as the Chungs encountered.
Stay inspired my friends!
