If the fruit is fine and delicious we enjoy it or a rotten fruit is thrown away; the wise man doesnt lament the waste of time spent in plucking it and opening it. He just goes on with life, know that the way he is, ignorant with not a single way of being omniscient, this is the only way to be sane - be detached to the wrong fruit and throw it away as soon as possible, and enjoy the good when it happens.<BR/><BR/>Now, there is another view, of the soul that is wholesome and rounded and not staccatoed into going from ignorance to knowledge as the mind does - you may develop the inner sight that sees what your mind doesnt nor can, and that will keep you away from faults of omission and commission. But you will call this theoritical as you dont know how to get live the soul's knowledge - maybe you should seek that Guru who will teach you to, if not resort to the Divine Himself to lead you to light.<BR/><BR/># Another thing is regarding what you call people deceiving others by using their psychological/emotional infirmities. Knowing the emotional states of people and handling them for your benefit is a science in Strategy management that surely doesnt deserve the label of deception. The mind is not the only faculty in man that has the right to see the facts of a situation. Our/others' emotions too are valid and can be used as a starting point in getting things done.<BR/>Coincidentally, I was reading about this book by Roger Fisher and Daniel Shapiro called 'Beyond Reason - Using Emotions as You Negotiate' where the description to the book says that Emotions matter. Whether negotiating with an angry boss or an outraged teenager, emotions can derail you. Properly treated, however, they can help you achieve the results you want. This book shows you how.<BR/><BR/>Seems to me that besides putting all the facts of a product before someone, if we are quick enough to gauge their emotional being, their infirmities which reflect clearly what aspect of the product will appeal to their weak and strong characteristics, we are just being thorough in our sales job. <BR/><BR/>When given a project we have to use all the instruments and faculties in us and in others. Emotions are just one of those helps and props available, methinks.<BR/><BR/>Cheating is of course another thing altogether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-20259627081392871662008-03-24T09:06:00.000+05:302008-03-24T09:06:00.000+05:30Hmmm. Your fundamental principles are not sound - ...Hmmm. Your fundamental principles are not sound - if you are propounding integrity, honesty, decency, do so for all occasions, in the presence or absence of others. <BR/><BR/>The moment you say that one has to mollycoddle a trusting attitude (being trusting = being lazy enough not to do the necessary research as to whether someone's credibility is worth its salt or not, = being stupid enough not to be able to make the right inference about the person/situation), by being trustworthy and not tweak the other person's responses to suit one's selfish ends, is a pontification that doesn't take into consideration the facts of life where compulsions of 'got to do' something takes over childish details of letting a good buyer pass by you, as it would be deception to do otherwise. <BR/><BR/>Before advising at length as in this post, it would be best for you to get over your inner temerity (read cowardice, also called in a glossing it over manner by you as decency ;-)) of not wanting to create a scene with your cutlet seller in public - what stopped you from just giving back the plate telling him that you had only queried about the timing of the next batch and did not ask for a plate just now? <BR/><BR/>Why blame the whole world for your lacunae of personality and nature? Be strongminded, invincible and unbending inside, whether you are alone or amidst thousands - then you will have the right to say this or that is right and should be done or not done. <BR/><BR/>But hey, it is your blog to write as you will..So, enjoy!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
