Summary

This quote suggests that when attempting to develop a positive relationship with someone who is considered dangerous or potentially harmful, one effective way is to allow them to do a favor for you.

This approach aims to disarm a dangerous person by appealing to their sense of obligation and fostering a bond based on reciprocity.
