Before I start writing, let's define 2 categories of people who will often meet here:
Advice: if you consider yourself an intellectual and find the advice to be good, then stop reading this article right now. Further, there will be only "brain removal" and a negative to modern society.
The most popular problem of mankind at all times is "Suckers and Gondons". This problem is associated with the beginning of the emergence of business relations between people, namely - barter.
barter
When one man had nothing to eat, he found another person (having food, a roof over his head and kindness) and offered him what he could give him: a shiny little thing, fish bones and other utensils, himself (another story) or cram himself up friends for the sake of "common good intention." In general, he tries to use his kindness and naivety, instead of going and catching fish, catching prey, picking berries.
This person (gondon) - was at that time a weak man with a developed instinct of self-preservation or similarly in our time by mind. But! Then and now he still has one feature of this - impudence.
And on the contrary, a person who was on the brink of impudent people was kind, reckless and had something before being deceived. These two kinds of people complement each other like yin and yang, like black crows and abandoned chicks, like a fisherman and fish, like a maniac and his victim "a dumb schoolgirl in a dark alley, wearing sexy clothes."
That together are the unity of opposites. To be more precise: one creates conditions for the other to take advantage of this.
But there is also a third type of people with a developed mind and a sense of shame that they are not allowed to do those 2 terrible things. They are in our time like the "Middle class".
All the same, I refer this phenomenon to the economy.
There are 3 classes of people in welfare and they are very similar to the phenomenon of "suckers, gondons".
The rich deceive the poor, people deceive people for personal gain. But a rich man can deceive the rich, and the poor can deceive the poor.
The middle class is more difficult to deceive, because they are least involved in such transactions. If they are trying to cheat, then they start to get their way. He uses his right and developed intellect.
