Well, all I can say is, when it comes to a guilty conscience, anyone human will succumb to that experience and will be humbled by it. Today was a perfect example of that as exhibited by this fake professional. He sucked up to me today for the first time. He doesn't suck up to anyone, let me tell you. He did a task for me w/o me asking him.
To me, that doesn't show genuine remorse. It shows fear of the unknown - unknowing of what's on Arthur's mind. If he's ungenuine, then chances are he'll take advantage of me again once he sees a soft spot in me. What I look for is for him to return my money (with interest) - not b/c I need it, but b/c greed is very hard for him to overcome. If he can gesture that to me, then I can move on to the next step with him.
If you ask me for my personal opinion of this person, I don't think he'll change b/c that's his nature. If he's going to change, this fake pro. needs a legit pro. to counsel him and help him find the source what's causing him to feel a sense of entitlement in life. My advice to people who haven't met him yet is to not let him get into your mind. He will manipulate you - just like that spin instructor!!
My dad chuckled right away when I told him what happened that night. The fake pro is starting to find the real side of his conscience. An arrogant person can only feel invincible until (s)he is at the mercy of their own guilt conscience, caused by resentment from something or someone who matters to their fortunes. One day that spin instructor, C.K. will cross that path too. I guarantee it!!
