Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday I had a problem depositing a check and when I asked the business that issued it they refused to do so.  They both said something opposed about how the check was made out.  That means either the bank or the business is lying.  They cannot both be right.  I feel squeezed and stressed.  I somehow don't expect to be lied to about how a check is written out.  I will try again today, but I'm depressed about it.  I know banks aren't really on my side and neither is any business, but I thought they had professional standards, and would not falsify their reasons for refusing to cash my check.  This quagmire is around my brother's estate.  It has been torturous to do the myriad transactions to get the estate resolved.  Every time I think the last bit is settled, a new wrinkle appears.

I feel like a victim not only because it's my brother who died and I didn't ask this to land on my shoulders but because, well, I guess I expected sympathy and reflexibility.  I expected reason and logic and truth to prevail.  What a fool I've been!
