5/4/24 At least now my conscience is clear

 I  have extended my support to Alexander.  Now he owes me money.  That is a big deal for me.  This can go into so many ways:

  • A test of gratitude
  • A show of power
  • Oneupmanship
  • A test of loyalty
  • A test of fealty
  • A test of "my word is my bond."
All in all, it is to show that I am a knight in shining armor even if the actual intention is all of the above.

I want to see if this guy is still arrogant and aloof when I apply kindness as a weapon because at this point nobody other tha[t] (than) his wife and me who are kind to him.

It is a hefty bet on my part.  If he doesn't pay, that is the largest sum I ever withdrew from my EPF.

To put it mildly, I want to see if he is a man of honor.  If he is, he will sell his car and settle his debt.  If not, like everybody else, I just cut him off.

---

Bottomline - He is in deep shit and I am the only one other tha[t] (than) his wife [] (who) is willing to bail him out.

This is not a simple black-and-white situation.  It is a complex game of chance and probability.
