The thing you ordered came. You cut the tape and pried up the flaps. Set to pull out your purchase piece by well-advertised piece. Packaged so well You can’t even tell what’s under all that wrapping. What happens when you find that “satisfaction guaranteed” Did not mean your satisfaction? That the perfect fit you expected is instead a wrong-size pack of lies? That elaborate costumes do not change the truth? Will you want to return it? Will you want redress for a mis-taken identity? And what will you do when you can’t get your dearly bought Dream Back in the torn and damaged box? We all learn the hard way that Things Do not Go Back.

When my son was 17 he wanted so badly to have friends that he agreed to start taking Abilify for his Aspergers. The drug was marketed to him off-label (not legal), even tho the makers of the drug had paid a half billion dollar fine five years prior for illegally marketing Abilify.
Five years later and four more pshrink drugs and his brain was so scrambled he put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
It's all good, though. (sarcasm mode: 'on') When I spoke to his pshrink after his death I had one thing to say to her. "The drugs that you had him on, that his father wanted so badly for him to be on, they didn't work so good did they?" And her response was that she could arrange to have our insurance co-pays refunded if we were unhappy with the treatment he'd received.
These people are, seriously, demons.
A healthy, timely warning! That “All that glitters IS NOT gold.”
