Men and Women are Merely Players

Do people take advantage of you? Perhaps people use your ideas and claim them as their own? Maybe you've been misled about the facts? In extreme cases you might have been bullied, lied to and subject to the narcissistic ambitions of others.

Sometimes people are acted cruelly towards each other. Sometimes people do not have any sympathy toward the others and sometimes people just don’t realize that what they have done is not fair towards a person which they can just play fool on them. Day by day the sense of morality is getting lower and lower. 

People have a very poor of respectful practice. Since we are born we were being learned on how to love and care towards each of us. Somehow, when ages are change people also changed. Most of people are likely to act selfish and only think only about themselves.

People who take advantage of us are highly skilled at manipulating the situation we are in in order that we operate on false assumptions. So, one of the best ways of avoiding being taken advantage of is to critically look at the situation you are in and how that can be set up so that you are more easily duped, conned, or betrayed.

As what can I understand on my reading on the excerpt of Men and Women Are Merely Players by Robert Greene is that, outwardly people who like to take advantages on others will act nicely and respectfully but inwardly it is vice versa. The pretenders will master the naïve in order to make their job become easier. As stated by the author, you will able to make people bend to your will without their realizing what you have done. 

The time for generosity and kindness is when you are sitting at the top, otherwise its just a race to get there and the first one wins. Don’t get knocked down.
