Anyone who lives their life around the lines of Louis Armstrong’s – It’s a wonderful World, lives in a fools paradise. It is a sad truth that the world we live in has become a hunting ground of manipulators and confidence tricksters galore.

Do not believe that these confidence tricksters are only after your money for that is leaving you cheap, they can have many motives and are like vultures, they would even devour your soul – sometimes; all for their carnal satisfaction.

In this day and age, we step out of our homes wearing a kind of a protective shield that we develop to protect ourselves from being shitted.

This shield is like a vertical, steep wall coated with oil and is designed to stop anyone from climbing over and is acquired as we grow up in life. It stops all attacks and attempts to shit us.

We expect that when we come back home, this shield would be intact and we would be safe. This wall is not only to protect us from our material assets being stolen, but also non-material ones. It does its job well and is based on our ethics, moral value systems that we inherit, our principles etc. and till this shield is active, no harm can actually happen to us and it keeps the vultures away.

The only way for it to be breached to be move us out of our fools paradise is by making us voluntarily dopping it. We do this ourselves by getting trapped into the sweet nothings of confidence tricksters who are all around us.

These people, very polished, will claim to have a 360° perspective on life, but will not claim anything directly about themselves that can be verified against them as there is nothing concrete in them; their entire life being a bunch of lies and deceit. They will use a set of same type of phiosphical sounding arguements, advise etc.. they will vouch for their credentials by espousing the fact that their entire life is based on trust and relationship and that they have climbed mountains and crossed deserts. They will offer you strange analogies of their lives with genuine achievers like Bill Gates and Dhirubhai Ambani.

The mask they wear will convince us that they actually are some kind of guru’s which they will refute politely claiming to be mere mortals and our well wishers and you will start believing in them more and more.

Soon, you will start confiding in them with your day to day issues and they will offer intelligent sounding advise - always based on about 4 or 5 standard stuff. They will convince us that they audit our emotions and our soul and you will only be too happy to comply. Soon, seemingly minor issues a.k.a mole hills, you may have, will instead of getting solved, be turned into mountains and instead of getting solved, will lead to more sessions on soul and emotion audits.They will, incognito, slowly but surely capture your imagination. They will become the nicest things that could have happened to you and you would by then have dropped your shield!

This is the most dangerous moment as this is when this person will begin to mix your vulnerabilities and fears with his imaginary ones and will strike. Now you both trust each other ! Nothing can separate you from them ! This is the moment, they will strike and take away all your valuable possessions like your loved one or your money or whatever else they have their evil eyes upon that belongs to you.

You would have become their victim without even knowing that you have.

My advice to my friends on the blogs is to read between the lines and beware. Never drop your protective shield, and never, never, trust anyone! Not in this day and age… Ever !

YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR SOUL TO THEM WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING... REMEMBER... FOOLS DIE.
