Have you ever seen an incredibly beautiful person pass by, or artwork that stopped you in your tracks, or heard someone speak with such clarity that your mouth dropped open?

Many of us discover early on in life that it's easy to deceive people we perceive as naïve or generous. Watch your kids at play: one child will deliberately praise the beauty of a doll she's uninterested in so that her sister will want it and exchange dolls with her, getting her the toy she secretly wanted.
