There’s a line that our actions can cross when our desire to help others turns into helping ourselves. And it’s often difficult to see when you’re the one falling prey to this hubristic vanity masked as good will. Outsiders don’t have a problem recognizing the shift, though. They only see a charlatan and victim too distraught with pain to discern truth from what they want to hear. This is why there will always be a con artist, mark, and disgruntled bystander catching the trick with a glimmer of respect or sea of rage. And the fork-tongued liar often believes he/she has one card left to play. It’s this desperation that turns a “sure thing” into a crapshoot. Sometimes the predator gets lucky and sometimes he/she becomes the mark.
