bad checks

As I understand it a bad check is simply a broken promise. You did not do what you said you would.
Now I have written a fair share of bad checks. What is this “bad check” made out of. More specifically that is. To make a claim about a future endeavor and to not follow through. So it is to tell a lie. Yet I do not think this is all that it is. Following the metaphor it is to state something where you do not possess the required funds to satisfy. So it is like a self deception and not a lie. A lie is conscious you do not speak the truth. A bad check is illusory, it turns out to be, where you think you are telling the truth. So there is a difference imo between a bad check and a lie.

Writing a bad check is not necessarily a lie but it is a breach of contract/broken promise as you say. "I don't care what happened, I just want my money".

So a contract is based in time where the truth is not known initially. So I do not see how the contract can be understood as a confirmation if the truth is not known. It is like an exercise in deliberation at all costs. The natural flow of reality must be sacrificed for the contract.

Well, not at all costs unless you agree to a contract with the wrong kind of person. But there are consequences and decision making based on past behavior because the truth is not known.

. And now you want to play games defining what you did? To what end? Do you plan to continue to do so? Or to get tips on how to get away with writing them for even larger amounts? . Some might wonder given your "handle or avatar" if perhaps its about: Wanting others to say they do it too, to relieve guilt? ... or maybe its your unconscious telling you its time to change into some dry pants?

I think I was drunk when I created Yellow Pants (seriously). But I’d like to see if there is a positive spin in writing a bad check. A way to defend against the social authority that would consider me “a bad player”
Any ideas?

The positive spin is you get what you want in the short term.
As regards the long term, who knows...
1) there are certainly very bad potential physical consequences
2) and potentially bad moral consequences if one has kids, or family
3) and potentially bad psychological consequences as to the type of character one becomes, and type of people one attracts into one's life, sort of thing ...
. Probably for these sorts of reasons, this sort of behavior is generally avoided, and other ways found to profit from one's intelligence, by those who consider the matter carefully.

I think the question one must ask, if one is to approach it from that angle is 'who suffers if you write that bad check, and how?'.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Well if two people with good intentions agree to terms then they both suffer if they are not satisfied. I personally think it is worse for the party whose check came back invalid. They are guilty and even tho the other might lose out on x or y it is not on their conscious. The other person may lose something significant but this means that the guilt for the bad player is even more.
My question is whether guilt can be justified in some way. Aside from a legit excuse that unexpectedly comes up where both people can be understanding, is there another way?
