TRAP A TRAP.

First question that we must ask ourselves, is "Is our environment as friendly, kind and caring as you think it is?".

I guess, I would say that life isn't always as perfect and safe as it should be. As time and generation passes, the complexity of the human race has grown immensely. Well, we can't blame society and its rapid development, but only become more wary of the dangers that lurk at every corner. In the older days or perhaps older generations, issues and incidents take place with little complexity, probably due to the lack of distractions, modern technologies and electronic communications. People in those days, are equipped with much better human skills compared to people of our generation 2010.

As we advance in today's technology age, we tend to appear to be hiding or communicating behind a liquid crystal display, with fingers stabbing away on phone keypads. As such, due to such long term exposure, we have forced ourselves to become more technologically skilled but at the same time compromising on our human skills.

But that's not all. Because of such lack of human skills, uncertainty grows among our decisions. Uncertainty can be used as an advantage but also a tool for evil deeds and unkindly actions. Playing on environmental uncertainties, we often try to create a delusional figure which appear more attractive in the eyes of the watchers. This perceptive image is often intentional and of false pretenses but honestly it is what someone wants to see in order to promote greater acceptance. Once again, because of the fact that uncertainty falls into the picture, many are uncertain of the level of acceptance, hence the need to promote a greater positive image. This is known as a trap.

Well, it can be a trap, and it can also be a a humble attempt. But most of the time, it does not pay to be humble, as often being humble requires one to degrade himself to a certain level which appears to be somewhat pitiful and disgraceful and yet hoping that by falling short, the opposite party would appreciate. Nevertheless, that's often not that case, since many often regard human flaws as weaknesses and points of breaches.

Besides the humble attempt, there is what i've illustrated to be a "TRAP". A trap is a socially embedded platform which allows one to reap the intentional benefits from the opposite party who seeks out the perceptive positive image portrayed by another. Well, one can also call this "a well-deserved lesson" but not many people learn from such deception because many do not really know when they have triggered a trap until its too late. Often, by being too engrossed with other details, they often miss out what lies beneath their noses.

Now, it has come to my attention that one can trap a trap using a trap. In strategic planning, we call this forward planning or strategic foresight. Somewhat like minority report, one should always be a few step forward in terms of planning, so as to figure a contingent plan. This is because due to great uncertainty, one can never be guaranteed implementation success.

However, this theory is no longer an advantage since many are also adopting this strategy. By being equipped with greater knowledge and abilities to foresee and plan for the future, one can in fact create traps to trap the trapper. Knowing the trapper who has laid the trap, a trap can be laid behind the trapper's trap, thus trapping the trapper when he traps the "trapee". It is complicated but try to keep up.

But i guess, this whole idea is all about the time advantage, the effectiveness of each trap and of course the ability to withstand the mental complexity of trying to keep up. This whole entry illustrates the idea of mental trapping and perhaps indications of how to avoid the traps which some have set for you. There are other considerations which need to be taken into account, such as the level of comprehensiveness, skills and experiences of the trapper.

There are many comprehensions to the identification of traps but when it comes down to it in reality. Suspecting another often requires a lot of poor morality and human ethics. So, choose wisely before setting traps for the ones whom you dearly know because once these mental traps are set. The triggering effects are often unknown and poorly judged. I believe one might call this "mind bombs" which in fact "mind fuck" another, at the time where he least expects it.
