48 Laws of Power: Law #12 Use Selective Honesty and Generosity to Disarm Your Victim @ty2nicerva
SNAKE ALERT! SNAKE ALERT!
Hello My Fellow Steemers! Today I'm going to put you on game once again so you can keep these snakes out of your cotdamn garden. I hate snakes, but everything ever created has a purpose. I just haven't figured out wtf a snake is good for yet. They just lay around trying to catch you slippin, blending in with everything (or everyone in the case of these 2 legged snakes). Then next thing you know your ass gets bit, and you didn't even know the snake was there in the first place.
Humans can be the same way sometimes. We all have our own agendas in life. The difference between good people and snakes is good peoples' agendas are not harmful to anyone else's agenda. My agenda will never harm yours unless you are a snake. Which bring us to today's law.
The essence of deception is distraction. The government is very good at doing this. They feed the media stories to distract us from the real treachery going on. We keep hearing about what Donald Trump says. Every headline Donald Trump said this. Donald Trump said that. Everybody knows what this asshole is saying, but nobody knows wtf he is doing......
The number one thing I used to hear Trump supporters say is "At Least He's Honest." That's called Selective Honesty. He disarmed them with it to get elected, and he hasn't done shit yet that they want. Thank God...and guess what he isn't going to. He has them folks waiting on a dumb ass wall and a healthcare repeal while he's over there making business deals because he never gave up ownership of his company. But y'all are worried about Mexicans taking the jobs you don't want in the first place and keeping those scary Syrian women and babies out. Bruh........lol
Another tactic is to seem generous. Snakes will use acts of kindness at first to distract you. That disarms your suspicions. In Ancient China they call this "giving before you take". If they appear to be giving, you might not notice them taking. the giving can come in many forms: a gift, a generous act, a favor, an "honest" admission- literally whatever it takes to gain your trust.
See here's the thing about snakes. They don't have the nerve to just take what they want. They'd rather be sneaky because they really are not ready to deal with consequences. It can be dangerous to be a snake, and if you aspire to deceive and take from people, you better be ready to be dealt with whatever form that comes in. Playing with people who don't play can end very badly for you.. I suggest being sincere and not playing with fire. Once people see you as deceitful, it's a wrap for you.
So be careful who you deal with. Develop a personal vetting process that works for you. Once you find some genuine people, build with them and leave the snakes out of your garden. My pops used to kill snakes on site. He said if you don't, one day they will come back to bite you. He said that, but I knew he was terrified of them. I'm not scared. I'll let a snake live. But I will treat him like a snake.
Peace Ty

You already know. I wish I could get more eyes on these.
As you grow in popularity... the snakes only get bigger, smarter and even more cryptic with the attack.. never tie yourself down to a community, instead... work independently to be free and clear of a snakes on a plane incident.. in other words.. don't jump on any steemit airplanes (bandwagons) that call for somebody head.. if that makes any sense.
Resteem'd this for ya.. good stuff worth sharing
Following. I realized power is the most addictive drug on the planet back in the 90's after being sent to a war for oil. Now I see power junkies use their tricks on society every day. Just turn on any TV or radio.
