Why The Innocent Are Guilty 80% Of The Time

We all know what it feels when falsely accused. Something bad may happen and the wrong person gets blamed for it. More often than not, the accuser knows something that the accused doesn't because they planned it. The painter knows of his intended outcome before commencing the job and will execute a well-planned set of actions with ease. Likewise, the person apportioning blame follows a script to divert the consequences away from them.

In the world from times gone by, every evil intention has the fall guy, the scapegoat, and, or, the punching bag. Before anything is executed, the tricky type follows a checklist that has a "what if" section. So, he will ask: "what if my actions elicit an angry public outpouring"? And the answer to that is put in place before the act. Someone somewhere is made guilty of nothing in their innocence.

The road paved with good intentions is quite narrow. The one with ill intentions is broad and accommodates many negative spirits. A crowd of 100 people invited to a party looks perfect on the surface. Everyone puts on a good show. But just about 20 of these invitees have genuine intentions. Anyone that makes them look bad even if unintended, shall be fought as if they killed the offended people's relative. How do you fight 80 individuals whose motivation to contain you emanates from your hard work?

Simple, when you are guilty of success, have it at the back of your mind that you will be fought by all manner of people, friends, and foes alike. Many get close to you not because they like you, but to get a vantage point when bringing you down. Betrayal depends on easy access to deliver intended results. Judas Iscariot's access to Jesus helped complete the crucifixion plan. Inhouse jobs depend on access to actualize betrayals. Even the snake behaves like the mouse's playmate before delivering the lethal strike.

So, when a majority are on the prowl—inspecting you for weaknesses, do not lower your guard, for doing so makes you guilty of self-betrayal. Just remember that 8 out of 10 people are busy searching for vantage points on your account. When you are not smutting from manufactured guilt, you are suffering from enabling your accusers prove your 'guilt'.

That being the case 80% of the time, it is incumbent upon you to have a zoned approach to everyone. Those you've just encountered remain on the outer ring zone until such time that they have demonstrated enough to cross over to the second ring zone. You have five rings to protect you before someone makes it to your heart. Do not let your enemies outside of the outer ring. Let them be close enough for you to know what they are doing. Ensure that your firewalls are intact, lest they walk through.
