Blowing Smoke, Part 1
Beware any “authority”, creed, or enterprise that flatters the believer in me…
that teaches me that it is okay to feel better without having to be better…
that allows me to feel special without having to do special.

Be wary of all who flatter my ego.
It is all about how we feel, which is why we are so vulnerable and often gullible. Guilt may play an equally successful manipulative role. It’s how abusers in abusive relationships work. Keep it coming, Frank.

Yep… flattery, guilt, and so much more… all part of the salesmen’s arsenal. Thanks for the words of encouragement, Bill.
