- When people speak in vague generalities and it’s a deliberate choice, you’re seeing manipulation When it’s their default, habitual way of speaking, you’re seeing massive psychological defenses One is about deceiving you, the other is about deceiving themselves*
“It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.” -Bruce Lee
People around you, constantly under the pull of their emotions, change their ideas by the day or by the hour, depending on their mood. You must never assume that what people say or do in a particular moment is a statement of their permanent desires.
from Mastery by Robert Greene
