Hello, in today's article I want to discuss a certain problem in society, not only in Hive but in the national psychology of humanity as a whole. It is about manipulation.
From a very early age (baby) human starts manipulating. In the beginning not consciously like a baby refusing to eat a certain food or refusing to make a simple movement like reaching your finger. By crying and cooing in 99% of the cases it manages to trick its parents and get that cherished biscuit or something else it has wished for. It sounds strange, but it is manipulation too.
When the child is old enough to be a student, the principle of manipulation continues. Then the child's priorities have changed and that biscuit is no longer interesting. New interests appear, such as a toy that has been advertised on TV, or some reunion with classmates next to very expensive objects that a child of about 10 years old does not really need.
In the teenage years that each of us has been through and probably remembers, manipulation is tied to friends. What is meant is - the child manipulates his parents that he will do his school homework quickly, he will learn his lessons, but his parents have to let him go out until later.
We've probably all done such machinations when we were little.
When we grow up and now we have to take care of ourselves or even take care of another person - like a child. Things change. The parent also makes attempts to manipulate the child. Often, each of us will probably have to trick our child by saying, "Today the park is closed for naughty children."
We have been actively working, for several years now, and have been able to set aside a little bit of money to make our dreams come true. But, a slight idea creeps in or may even be how our employers are attempting to manipulate us. In many places around the world, there is evidence given on the news of how an employer "forces" their workers to vote for a particular political candidate or so confuses the worker that they have to stay extra hours at their job for no money and even have to be happy that they are given the opportunity to work extra - for the honor and glory of the company they work for.
There are so many movies out there where people manipulate them. In more than one or two wars those who were less educated were manipulated into fighting for their country. It has been planted in their minds that this is the right thing to do. And was there any point to this war at all? Wasn't it someone's sick idea that they wanted to be bigger, more powerful, and stronger? In reality, this chief stood in his castle and played with the lives of thousands of people.
The world encourages us so much to manipulate - to make the other person do something we want. In many cases the person who has to do something is ourselves. We feel that someone wants to manipulate us, but in many cases, we cannot do anything because society forces us.
We have to learn how not to be manipulated. How to stand up for our rights! How to be real people - future leaders and not just another followers forgotten in time!
