Deck of Cards

Sometimes when I have ideas and think-that's a good one no need to write it down you'll remember...how much air can you store in a wicker basket? I would trade it in for a rubbermaid tote but I'm not a big fan of plastic, and I can see the junk people pull out of theirs and wonder if that is what normally happens when thoughts are kept out of sight, out of mind. Perhaps the ones I carry are a bit presumptuous and very often wrong but I think it helps to keep several theories at hand so I have more cards to deal. I may not exactly be playing with a full deck and still not quite sure what game we're playing or even what the rules are but I do have a couple jokers, and a vague idea of what my opponents goals are. When dealing with people who have ulterior motives it may not be a bad idea to take a few guesses as to what those are, because they will constantly give them away, you can tell by the cards they play. Manipulative/secretive people will never be (openly)honest, but it is usually easy to tell whether that dishonesty is come by honestly- autonomously (desires/selfishness/lack of self awareness) or by malice and intent. The latter are more clever and unfortunately talented malevolent sociopaths do exist in the world, and this danger seems to be of no concern to most humans. I hate being scammed and I despise the vampires who make a habit of feeding off others, wading in the darkness with their peeping eyes. Paranoia? I'm not sure people know the meaning of the word let alone what to do about it.
