Flattery is a dangerous thing. But it would be ridiculous for a person to claim that they are immune to flattery. Nobody is immune. A strong opinion? Perhaps. But who doesn't like to be complimented? Who doesn't like to feel safe and secure in their worth to others? I don't know many people like that.
So when someone tries to imply that I'm silly for succumb to flattery in some manner, I have to stifle my bitter laughter. He who points the finger of blame is probably the most vulnerable of all. Be honest with yourself, we are all human here. We feel emotions, and sometimes we act on those emotions to our benefit or detriment.
