Our world is full of trickery. There are people who find happiness in cheating others. There are so much people living in this world who are opportunistic, unfair and lacks integrity. Why do you think there are people like them who used to take advantage of other people and How can you prevent them from taking advantage of you?

We all are fooled once or twice, maybe even a few times by people like this. We need to get to know people better before we give them any sort of trust. I've been used many times by people like this and I'm getting better at ridding them from my life. They do it because they can. They get away with it. Sometimes we are not strong enough to deal with it so we put up with it. I myself am tired of users, abusers and blullies. We have to get to a point where we say "Enough is enough" and move on. These people are selfish and self-centered. Out for themselves and couldn't care less about anyone else! If you have someone who is taking advantage of you - RUN AWAY NOW AND RUN FAST.
