FIVE PEOPLE YOU MUST AVOID, PART TWO
BEWARE OF PEOPLE WHO SEE YOUR TROUBLES AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GAIN
People who see your troubles as an opportunity for gain feed on your troubles. They give you the impression that what they're offering you is your best solution under the circumstance. They perpetuate your vulnerability and becloud you from seeing a conclusion or permanent solution so that you remain glued to them and the suggestions they make.
They weave issues and events around you that complicate your ailing situation. They blow your difficulties out of proportion so well that you never get the impression that they are the ones making things look so bad. You become desperate and unable to think for yourself. You even thank your stars for their presence in your life because you see them as your angels in human form, but in reality, they are your bane.
Their intention is that you never come out of the situation. They suck and suck and suck at your blood, till there's none left, then they suddenly vanish and become incommunicado. By the way, through it all, they make you keep them a secret so that the people who would ask the right questions never know that they're associated with you, cause in the day of your execution they will appear and cast the first stone as though they never had anything to do with your situation.
Stop for a moment, and think! Think critically about every situation you find yourself in. Remember how you got into it. This will ensure that you are certain about your own version of your story, so that no one tells your story better than you. That is the first thing those who perpetuate your vulnerability and gain from it do - they bring you to a place where you think what they want you to think - from that point, you become mindlessly desperate, a meal ticket, a pun on their chessboard.
Take back the control over your life. Never put your life in the hands of the one who will use your mistakes to cage your present and cripple your future. The laws of nature and eternity always make a way for the correction of anomalies. So if you must seek help from a person, make sure it is a person with a conscience.
