The Yellow Kid, the Perfect Smoke Screen

The best deceivers utilize a bland and inconspicuous front that calls no attention to themselves. The smoke screen can be practised on a number of levels, all playing on the psychological principles of distraction and misdirection. People want to believe apparently noble gestures are genuine for the belief is pleasant. They rarely notice how deceptive these gestures can be. Do not despair in having to wear such a bland mask - it makes you appear unreadable. Remember it takes patience and humility to dull your brilliant colors with common sense.
