@edgarblythe,
I came across this in La Rochefoucauld's Moral Maxims:
'The most subtle of all artifices is the power of cleverly feigning to fall into the snares laid for us; and we are never so easily deceived as when we think we are deceiving others'.
The most subtle plan is to believe one has power to address and find only by their misunderstand the intent and purpose behind anothers words. In such a belief, one falls into their own snake-pit and is bitten continuously by the snakes of I think, I believe, I see, I can relate. These are the deceivers deceiving the deceived, who are the thinker of "I think, I believe, I see, I can relate," only because they do not know why words were written which disrupted their taste buds for lack of comprehending the purpose of intent behind said words in the beginning.
Never give power to anything a person believes is their source of strength - jufa
