Emotional Candy
What most consumers do not realize is that some business transactions
by small businesses involve more than just the profit motive. To
some business people the thrill of the kill is as important as the
potential profit. Such activity spans a wide spectrum of behaviors.
An antique dealer may take great satisfaction in bantering with the
clients, sometimes winning and sometimes losing but in the end making
a fair living. The bantering and socializing is a mild form of emotional
candy that makes the business owner's day pass pleasantly. However,
to many other business people overpowering and extracting huge profits
from their customers is what they live for. A boast to the ego has
the taste of delicious candy to predatory people. It is addictive
and leads business owners into business practices that could be called
greedy. Here they have little need for huge profits but their desire
to feel their primacy in society leads them to abuse people. People
who have made it having few real debts, large assets, and a successful
business will involve themselves in predatory fishing. Here, they
lure clients into their predatory grasp, play with them and maximally
extract money from them all out of boredom and not for the need for
money. Predatory fishing is an aristocratic pursuit thrilling in
the domination over other human beings.
When a person engages another in a business deal it is important to
note the potential to become someone's emotional candy. It would be
difficult to reconcile such a business practice as ethical. Moreover,
it might seem that not concentrating on business indicates a certain
unprofessional element to business that need high doses of emotional
candy to conduct business.
Emotional Candy in another sense could be considered the perks salesmen
use to entice a business owner to act against their clients and buy
marginalizes products. Emotional candy is used to weaken a business
person with desire and conspire against the interests of their customers.
