“I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to me to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.”
— Fernando Pessoa (via antigonies)

Seduction is a skill everybody needs to learn and apply.
Seduction is a high form of power, by making people excited about the idea of you and the reducing the resistance to the things you want.
The more seduced a person is = the higher the chance you are able to get what you desire.
In romance, in business, in life.
