... it's just business
"Goodbye, Salvatore. It's just business."

Salvatore: "Maybe a handshake... for old-times sake?"


"If you say that it is just business, I cannot guarantee the placidity of my reaction."
~from The Pursuit of William Abbey by Claire North

"It is required of every man...that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide...Business! Mankind [should have been] my business. The common welfare [should have been] my business; charity, mercy, forbearance and benevolence, were [supposed to have been], all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
~~Jacob Marley’s ghost to Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
 

Minding Your Own Business!​


I'm pretty good at it

After getting a bit older, I observe young folks, and have learned to bite my tongue, feeling they'll one day figure it out

If I'm asked for advice, I'm generally a font of information
but knowing it might not be well taken


Older folks?
They're (we're) pretty set in their (our) ways
Best to just share the weather report

You’re a good’n Gary! 💕
 
Usually whoever is saying "It's just business" is using their business practices or principles to hurt or deceive others.

That's what I have observed in my 60+ years of living. "It's just business" is an acceptable excuse in America to do wrong.
