13. Beat the grass to startle the snake
Frighten or startle the enemy to see how he will react. You should note that
making threats will probably undo you, especially against an opponent who is
stronger or more ruthless than you. Instead, the enlightened fighter has to make
the enemy feel threatened without stooping to make threats. A calm,
straightforward demeanor in discussions helps a person's word to be more
believable. Instead of speaking threats, the wise fighter arranges circumstances
or performs actions that create the threat.
A woman who is being stalked, instead of threatening to call the police, simply
calls the police, thus startling the stalker by her decisive action and letting
the authority of the law frighten him. She watches his reaction and learns how
committed he is to continue this behavior.
Due to mismanagement of their own records, a credit card company sends a
collection agency against a man who has actually paid his bills. After faxing
copies of the checks that prove he's up to date, the man is still being
harassed. Instead of threatening to get a lawyer, he asks a lawyer to write a
letter to both companies, letting them know their legal danger. At this mark of
serious consequences to their own negligence in record keeping, the credit
company reveal their level of commitment to harassing him (not very committed,
as it turned out).
Preliminary actions that don't commit you to a single course of behavior can
still startle an opponent into revealing his mindset and goals.
