----------the anatomy of blackmail

I love to deal with the man with a sword. His victory rests solely on the fact that I am afraid of the sword – on the premise that I must perform an action (of being afraid) for him to be a winner – I can choose not to perform that action !!!

I love the blackmailer who works on the premise that he has a reason that I care about – “my caring” is what he banks on – in truth I just may not.

Of course I deal with many such men in everyday corporate life – they give me just so many reasons to smile – and to blog :)
