We are seated next to these decent looking ladies who are exchanging notes on how they cheat on their boyfriends/husbands (not sure coz they are referring to them by name), their close shaves at being caught, some of the things their significant others do that make their hearts stop - like asking them to give them their phones to use for the day because theirs is spoilt - yet the phone is full of undeleted incriminating evidence. One was asked by the boyfriend to give him the phone complete with the line but she managed to divert her calls and was forced to use another phone to contact all the guys whose numbers she could remember to tell them not to text bla bla bla
I cannot help but pity the boyfriends/husbands!!! They are probably somewhere hustling or looking for not so soft loans to make sure these 'ladies' have a time of their lives on Valentines Day. Poor chaps!!!
WTF! Poor chaps indeed. This is unfair world.
...very sad. ..but you never throw stones if you too dwell in a glass house...just saying...
True. Just the thought is nauseating.
To quote from the preface of the 48 Laws of Power, “Those who claim to be non-players may affect an air of naïveté, to protect them from the accusation that they are after power. Beware, again, however, for the appearance of naïveté can be an effective means of deceit (see Law 21, Seem Dumber Than Your Mark). And even genuine naïveté is not free from the snares of power… Genuinely innocent people may still be playing for power, and are often horribly effective at the game, since they are not hindered by reflection. Once again, those who make a show or display of innocence are the least innocent of all.
You can recognize these supposed non-players by the way they flaunt their moral qualities, their piety, their exquisite sense of justice. But since all of us hunger for power, and almost all of our actions are aimed at gaining it, the non-players are merely throwing dust in our eyes, distracting us from their power plays with their air of moral superiority. If you observe them closely, you will see in fact that they are often the ones most skilful at indirect manipulation, even if some of them practice it unconsciously. And they greatly resent any publicizing of the tactics they use every day.
BE AWARE!!
