The three lies

Recently while watching a Korean drama, the old lady in the drama said something i found makes real sense and true. She said there are three things that you should never believe:
When old people say they want to die 
When business man says they don't want to make profit
When an unmarried women say she doesn't want to get married
I found what the old lady said rather amusing. Isn't it true that we hear these sentences quite often and most of the time the person who said it doesn't mean it.
When a person gets old, would they say they want to die if they are living a good life? Would they want to leave their loved one's so soon? I heard my grandma say this all the time and i know she doesn't mean it.  I always assume she's ranting out of boredom. Sure sometimes they feel useless and unwanted, then they say they want to die. When they really face death, i think they would fear it. Of course not all old people are the same.
Then there's the business man who doesn't want to make a profit they say. Hah! It's lies lies and lies. If they don't wanna make profit, they wouldn't call themselves business man. So what if they say they give back to the society? or they say they wanna help you make profit too? Initially, they will still need to make profit to give back to the society or you (in a business deal). Lets face it, this is cruel world. Businessman ALWAYS want profit either for good reasons or bad reasons.
Then there's the third one. Just ridiculous! No one would ever want to grow old alone. When the right one come's along, you would get married to them no matter how many times you say you won't get married. Why would you deny yourself that happiness that you deserve? Are you a sadist? You enjoy making yourself suffer? Excuses and Lies! I hate those type of people who says they can be happy being a spinster forever. It saddens me too. So you say you have friends or extended families to accompany you when you grow old. Oh, you think you're so important that they would be willing to be with you all the time? They have a life of their own to bother, why should they stick with you all the time just to "accompany" you? When they start ignoring you and leading their own lives, you'll feel neglected and lonely. Thus, also leads to you saying the first sentence above. It's not just woman i'm talking about, man too. You think you would be happy being a bachelor forever? How long do you think your assets can attract a woman? Until a certain age, no woman would find you attractive anymore. But of course, money still does make you attractive- to some woman. "Some".

So as i was saying... that old lady in the drama is very annoying but i got to give her credit for saying something good once in a while.
