Well, the banker was exactly as expected. On top of the world until he lost the money, tried to rob his way out of the situation and then ended up getting bailed out by the poor.

Absolutely. Some would say “but to have an idea about someone start by having a look at them” and that could be highly fooling, really. I met a man with earrings and huge tattoos and liked heavy metal anybody would think he’s bad news but guess what.. turned out he is the most modest, honest and kindest person I ever known. He worked as a craftsman. So he liked what he liked and did for a living what he made and both had nothing to do with his principles. Principles are our true identities.
