The Pied Piper luring the children away |
The Pied Piper became a
symbol of death to the youth, and it’s all because these unsuspecting children
are lured with the beautiful music that he was playing. The children are like the
people of today – unaware, unsuspecting and clueless of the perils of the Pied
Piper of the moment --the MLM. Like a beautiful music, MLM keeps attracting people
on their scheme with false promises of wealth and security. These promises
filled the head of their prospects that followed the system blindly. A
never-ending journey of seeking the financial freedom, which later on turned out
to be devastating as one falls deep in the pit of debt.
Financial woes, distant
friends, unfulfilled love; scarred relationships are the results of years of
hanging on with MLM. There’s nothing to gain, but more to lose. MLM sells hope,
and when you gladly buy on it you will be trapped and will be amongst those who
drowned themselves in this cult. In one of the numerous seminars that I have
attended before, one leader made a graphic example of selling hope to its
prospect. He drew a mark, and specifically asked the audience of what they are
going to do if for example he buries a pot of gold very deep down the dirt
while the audience is still on the room. He said that whoever shall dig the
treasure first, he shall own it. Most in the audience replied that they will do
their best to dig the treasure no matter what it takes. The leader then again
asked, what if I asked you to leave before I bury the gold. Will you still dig
if you are unsure if there’s any wealth in there? Most became skeptic, some
replied they will try and the rest says they won’t do anything. The leader
points out that MLM was the hidden treasure. And it depends on how the members will
dig their way to success. Even if it means unconsciously tiring themselves because
they will never see the treasure unless they try. And one should never quit
because you will never know how close you are to the treasure!
MLM plays and cons with
people dreams just like how the Pied Piper plays with his magic pipe. They
continuously tempt people to join so they will benefit from their sign-up fees
and unlimited product purchases. Let no one defraud you and snatch your logical
self into taking part on a scheme that won’t give you anything but liabilities. Be
aware, be informed and be vigilant. Never fall prey to the Pied Piper of today –
which is the MLM.
