It's not just Mr. Masood... being self employed.. I know that when you try to explain or tell something because you have knowledge... most of the people think that they are sharing to get business. That's all they can think of. Does not matter if that information can benefit them or not.
It's a common mentality. I would not deny that at soem point in my life I was like that too. But when you go on the other side of the table tahn you realize everyone and everything is not just Money Money Money! there are people who help others.
