Day 2 - Observation 2: Beware A Stranger Bearing Gifts...
An obvious one you may think.. but when someone gives us something we often feel indebted in some way to them (I'm not talking about close friends and relatives here. We are, remember, talking of ways in which people manipulate people around them for their own ends).
This rule can take many forms. It is not always about physical gifts that are being presented. Those who wish to deceive somewhere down the line are expert providers of 'information', often slow drip-feeds of information that bring the two people seemingly closer together (a workplace practice of experts in this field - drawing soldiers in to sacrifice them later - so called social harvesting). The same can be said of someone who appears to be spending a lot of time with you or on something you are working on with no apparent reason to be doing so.
Short one today I'm afraid.. Busy working!
