Have you ever thought about how many words in our vocabulary start with CON?! Maybe that is why we live in an era where there are so many cons, scams, hustles and illusions. People hungry for opportunity, money, "blings and things".. Are often attracted by schemes that sound too good to be true! And more often than not they are...
But why so much Cons, Consultation, Conversation, Contest, Contending, Contention, Congested, Confidence, Conspiracy.... Shall I go on! Where is the Com?! Comfort, Compassion, Community, Compliance, Comprehension?!
We all need comfort in life but is it worth being completely without Conscience?! That is the one Con that I really put my confidence in - Conscience is the ability to hear the voice of reason, the spirit of God within you helping you discern the difference between right and wrong!

IGNORANCE is not BLISS?!
Do we really think that sticking our head in the sand, or hiding our faces like a cat whilst our tails are still showing.. will solve a problem. We need to grow up and realize, hiding will not make things disappear!
Neither will not taking calls, ignoring emails or just ignoring the problem in general - it is not proven to be an effective remedy at the best of times... Let alone when things become a real situation or heightened to reach an emergency or crisis. How effective is it to ignore an emergency - lets see shall we just hope the person goes away, perhaps they might die and leave the rest of us in peace and with more time for enjoyment and fun!? Perhaps.. It might not be best to hold out breaths though and wait or we might just have been, fooling ourselves even more and wishing for our own early retirement!
Does ignoring a problem make it go away... No! If I ignore this persons phone calls who I owe money to, will it mean that the money will be paid?! NO! If the person I owe hears me saying ignorant, disrespectful things to them or about them will it help my case - hmmm lets see - NO!
If a company, business or store cannot provide a person their requested goods and services as promised and there is an issue or some other problem and the person wants to complain, get a refund or rectify the problem. Does it help if the company rep or store clerk ignores the problem and walks away. NO!
In Jamaica everyone knows how to take money, count money and collect money but they don't know how to deal with paying, giving it back or handling a situation when there is a problem.
THIS IS A GENERALIZATION and i'm only expressing my opinion based on experience, observances and broad-based research.
