This is something that just can't be understood - Peart

Sometimes things aren't what they seem, and magic is a perfect example of this - we see one thing but in fact we are being distracted by what we believe and have no perception of what is really happening right in front of our eyes.

Well, it might not come as a surprise, but it happens all the time in everyday life. At home, at work, every time we log on, and anytime we interact ask yourself, where am I being deceived?
 
The simple answer is, for someone else's gain. It's easy to be stroked as I call it, and over the years I've gotten pretty good at reading situations and noticing where I'm being scammed. Not in a massive money laundering type kind way, just where I’m being played.
 
Now, I'm not writing this out of anger or betrayal I'm just saying watch out as your generosity and goodwill might just be taken in plain sight whilst in reality, you are being manipulated by those you trust.
 
So, see if you can spot a traitor in the midst of your faithful’s as they do exist and funnily enough might even be working together. Believe me, the folk nearest to you might just be wearing a Traitor’s cloak.
