"Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery", says the poem "Desiderata". People indeed are the same wherever you go...there's always the good and the bad. It's human nature. We are reminded by the poem to be cautious in our business affairs. Let us focus and concentrate on the word "caution" and "business affairs". Someone said that safety and danger first and foremost begins with oneself. Take note also of the word "trickery". Trickery from ourselves and trickery from others. What are you current business affairs? Are you being cautious with your business affairs? What trickery have you experience or encounter in the world?

I am having to deal with legal papers right now very much trickery and one has to be careful filling them out. Yes agreed the world is full of it.

@TiarasOceanView Yup, especially legal documents containing technical legal terms where one must carefully analyze and read between the lines and understand all its legal imports.

@JediYoda Indeed, and they make it as difficult as possible. I feel blessed that I have good comprehension and detail inclined.

I have always been a very cautious person. I'm careful with who I choose to trust, especially in business.

Bait and switch is one form of trickery. When a business has something on sale and when you get to the business that item was replaced with something cheaper.

@jstory07 Bait and switch is a very bad practice on the part of some merchants/seller.

Oh dear, I am reluctant to think about this. Perhaps I have encountered too often that now I just want to forget about them all for the time being.

Yes of course and with more reasons that we must be careful with our wordly affairs.
