One of the things I hate the most in life is business. It corrupts everything it touches. A friend who also runs a business said “Business is a shame, everyone wants to f… you”. Not a very nice way to put it but I confess that I agree. Business appears to me as the very opposite of the natural human values (not to say that in its current capitalist form, it carries in itself satanic antivalues).
Is there such a thing as “personal values substitution process” that happens when someone brings forth what he is not ? Will my values gradually and insidiously be replaced with antivalues ? Is there a risk that the more I do business, the less human I become ? For instance, by thinking daily of profit, money, happy swindling ;), prejudicing the competitors and being very proud of myself, so-called justified lies, voluntary omissions (the list is long)… is there any chance that one day I support evil ideas/people ? Example : Pierre Bergé who said that “as workers rent their arms, women may well rent their bellies” to carry babies for others, thus making maternity and children a business.

If such a danger does exist, how can I protect myself of it ? I want to stay sane. What comes to my mind when i think about business and psychopathy is "give them a paradise, they'll turn it into a hell".
