Recently, Mr. Li in Yiyuan County, Zibo City, Shandong Province, was cheated of 50,000 yuan on the Internet! A few days ago, Mr. Li suddenly received a friend application from a stranger, who claimed to know a friend of his, so Mr. Li let down his guard and passed the friend application. After that, the other party claimed that he could provide fuel card recharge service, and the discount could reach 91%, and the 100 yuan fuel card could be bought as long as 91 yuan, so he was very impressed. For the sake of insurance, Mr. Li also contacted his friend to ask if he knew the person, and the friend told him that he was just a little impressed. However, due to the fact that the discount given by the other party was too large, Mr. Li thought of trying it out with a fluke mentality. After that, the other party pulled him into a so-called recharge discount group, in which he saw that the group members were exchanging recharge, discounts, etc., so he believed more. At the beginning, he first handled a small amount of recharge business, and the next day the rebate amount arrived, and Mr. Li completely relaxed his mind. After that, he transferred 50,000 yuan in one go and waited for the other party to recharge his card. However, the next day, when he asked about the recharge in the group, he found that no one replied, and only he was left in the group. Mr. Li quickly went to check the balance in his gas card and found that the money was not in the account, so he realized that he had been deceived.
Greed for small profits and losses for the big
In life, we may often encounter such "high discounts or large profits" and other good things, that is, the so-called "pie in the sky", which must be very careful and cautious, especially when strangers add WeChat, we must confirm the true identity of the other party. When the other party talks about money, it is even more necessary to improve the awareness of prevention, do not be greedy and cheap, so as not to fall into the trap set by others.
We all know that "seeking profit and avoiding harm" refers to greed and fear in human nature, but many people do not have a clear understanding of their own greed and fear, and even overestimate their resistance to temptation, and as a result, they are deeply affected.
It is said in the Huainan zi yuan Daoxun that "those who are good at wandering drown, and those who are good at riding fall, and each takes his own favor and causes harm to himself." ”
This means that most of the people who drown often can swim, and most of the people who fall off their horses can ride horses. People who are good at a certain skill often cause harm because of carelessness.
Therefore, if you think you are good at something, the easier it is to be proud and complacent and take it lightly, so the easier it is to fall behind. It is necessary to be vigilant in life, do not believe in the good thing of "pie falling from the world", this "pie" is often also a "trap".
bait
In ancient times, Indians had a "monkey hunting method":
The monkey catcher carries a bag of gourds, a quick knife and a few strings, plus some peanuts and candy, and when he sees many monkeys in the tree, he uses a stone to disperse them. Then, come to a "bold" monkey who does not want to go away, cut the gourd in half, hollow out the middle part, put the gourd back together, and finally, tie it firmly with a rope, and then use a knife to dig a small hole in the gourd, which is slightly smaller than the monkey's front paws. After doing this, the monkey catcher will deliberately stuff some peanuts and candy into the gourd in front of the monkey, and when it is half loaded, pretend to be in a hurry, then throw the gourd on the ground and hurry away. The monkeys watching from the sidelines will "shrewdly" think that this is the "perfect time" to grab it, so they will not hesitate to run up, grab the gourd and look into the hole, and the wonderful taste of peanuts and candy will burrow into its nostrils. As soon as the monkey is happy, he will unscrupulously put his front paws into it, grabbing peanuts and candy, and when it tries to take out its paws, it finds that it does not work - the clenched fist is stuck in the loop. The monkey began to struggle desperately to get rid of the gourd, but it refused to put down the peanuts and candy anyway so that it could release its fists, and as a result, it quickly tossed and turned weak. At this time, the monkey catcher who was hiding on the side walked up to the monkey and gave it a little anesthesia, so that it could be easily captured.
This greedy personality of monkeys that "does not want to give up" is also found in many of us. "Greed" is like an invisible reins firmly tied to people's hearts, "fear" makes people choose to take risks in order to avoid losses without false thinking, but in fact, it is unfounded, and many people with ulterior motives often use this "profit-seeking and avoidance" human nature to carry out fraudulent activities: giving people an illusion, promising high returns, making people constantly invest money and energy, and if it does not work, they use intimidation to make people afraid and have to make blind choices.
Lü Kun, the great Confucian of the Ming Dynasty, said: "The husband fish sees the bait without the hook, and the tiger sees the sheep without seeing the well." Orangutans see wine and don't see people, they don't see people, they are fascinated by the beauty and don't have time to take care of it. ”
This means that fish see only bait and do not see hooks, tigers see sheep and do not see traps, orangutans see wine and do not see hunters. It's not that they can't see it, it's just that they're confused by what they love.
As the saying goes: "Everything is cautious and has no consequences, and the ship of ten thousand years is carefully sailed." ”
Caution traps
You must be particularly careful of any "pie" that is aware of abnormal situations, that allows you to get something for nothing, that promises you a high return on investment, and so on, that this is the bait set up by the "fish man" with ulterior motives.
From ancient times to the present, if you still know very little about the unchanging human nature, it is easier to fall into the "cognitive trap" and cannot extricate yourself, and when you have fully realized it, we must do as the ancients said: "Confucianism precepts color and profit, release of precepts color and fragrance, Taoist precepts of wine and wealth, in the end there is no desire." Only in this way can the desirelessness and inaction of not greed and profit be harmless.
