What you throw away is not "lost"

I read in the paper today that a former bank manager in Hawkesbury, Ontario, was found guilty of all sorts of crimes surrounding a rash of home break-ins, robberies (including one at her own bank branch) and assaults that were committed in eastern Ontario and western Quebec... by, mostly, members of her family... against clients of her bank.  Geez.

But what really caught my attention was the criminal's lament that she had lost the respect of her community.  Lost it?  She threw that respect way!  She didn't lose it... she deep-sixed it.

You don't lose something that you throw away!
