It seems that when we help people, more often than not we get taken advantage of.

Sometimes we’ll build a website for someone for free who doesn’t use it.  Sometimes we’ll show up at a park to take pictures of someone who needs them and they won’t show up.  Sometimes, and this is the worst, we’ll try and help someone on the street who turns out to be a thief…

To recap the story.  Jim’s landlord, Ted, has treated him unfairly.  He violated their contract and the law.

Melissa and I also discussed the question (obviously) and this is our response.

The first of ethical debates.

If Jim’s landlord treats him unfairly, should he take legal action or just forgive and forget?

Please read and leave your thoughts at the end.
