There is one sure way to set a person against you which is to let them know how much better you are then they. “Do not make idols for yourselves and do not create enemies” is the most important slogan you could have for creating relationships that go with the flow. Avoid injuring other peoples’ sense of self-esteem like the plague. Make it a kind of taboo. In so doing, you will save yourself from endless problems and niggling unpleasantries you will never know the reason for because of the hidden nature of the blow to self-worth.
