Use absence to increase respect and honor from "summary" of As 48 leis do poder by Robert Greene,Joost Elffers
The concept of using absence to increase respect and honor is a powerful tool in the game of power. When you are constantly present, always available, and easily accessible, people tend to take you for granted. They begin to see you as common, ordinary, and easily replaceable. However, by strategically withdrawing yourself from time to time, by creating an aura of mystery and unpredictability around you, you can make yourself more desirable, more valuable, and more respected in the eyes of others. Absence creates a void that people naturally want to fill. When you are not around, people will start to wonder about you, talk about you, and even miss you. This absence will make them appreciate your presence more when you do show up. By being selective about when and where you appear, you can make each appearance more impactful and memorable. People will start to look forward to seeing you, to hearing from you, and to engaging with you. On a subconscious level, absence creates the illusion of power and importance. When you are always there, always at everyone's beck and call, you appear weak and desperate for attention. But when you are able to step back, to take a break, to prioritize your own needs and desires, you exude strength and self-confidence. People will naturally gravitate towards you, seeking your approval, your validation, and your attention. By using absence as a strategic tool, you can manipulate the perceptions and emotions of those around you. You can make yourself more alluring, more intriguing, and more valuable in their eyes. You can create a sense of urgency and longing that drives people to seek you out, to pursue your approval, and to win your favor. In a world where attention is scarce and distractions are abundant, the power of absence cannot be underestimated. It is a simple yet effective way to elevate your status, increase your influence, and command the respect and honor that you deserve.
