A person is a car seller. He is told the cars are in excellent condition, but he knows they are not. But anyhow, to keep his job, he forces himself to sell the cars to customers as excellent cars. As years go by, this person feels a conflict within him and begins to force himself to sell the cars and gets less money. Eventually he is out of a job. Who are the losers? The losers are the man and his boss.
Though his boss can find others to replace the employee, eventually he himself feels that there is a cleavage in himself because he realizes that he is selling not the best, but a mediocre object, as if it were the best. This inner conflict eventually makes that man quit his job and and now you have another unemployed person. If he continues to work against his feelings, he can make money but he will pay it to the hospitals.
Whenever we have cleavages within ourselves, we bring failure to ourselves and for those for whom we are working. The business community is totally unaware of these factors, hence the economic failure everywhere.
