Hi Roland,
I used V1-v19 to teach my children, under these circumstances to just say “no”. Sounds easy, but a lot of people never learn to say no.
A person’s life will become “abundant” when they learn to say “no”.

My son, if persons who act immorally or illegally try to convince or persuade you to take part in a wrongful act, do not agree or give in even if offered compensation, payment or reward.
