Hi Readers,
Yesterday topic was about “distorting the truth”, it is because we are living in a world of conspiracy, However we also live in a manipulative world. So today i will be writing about “manipulation”, this word has a common meaning of controlling or influencing, being manipulative means you are able to control or influence the person indirectly or directly through verbal or nonverbal methods.
Manipulation and instigation may be the same effect but both are of different skills. When people manipulates, we don’t even realize that it is happening. Manipulation is also considered as bullying, however not through actions but verbal insulting.
Manipulation is a skill used by many people but doesn’t know that it is call manipulation. In everyone of us, we are able to manipulate friends,family or foe around us. The only thing is that when someone is manipulating you are unaware that he or she has already manipulate you into doing something or influencing you. Isn’t it fascinating that people can change a person decision,view, or something they are doing.
However manipulation can be used for the good and for the bad, some people are able to manipulate others for their own advantages such as obtaining results/goals by using or expenses of a person. People who use manipulate for the good will encourage and try to change the person perspective view on something, or even helping a person to achieve their goals or aim.
Never feel that you have been manipulate by others because you will know that you had already been manipulated. It’s a indescribable feeling sometimes that you have been manipulated in your mind, it felt like someone is changing and using you. However if you are a person who is easily being manipulate, time for you to stand up for yourself and be strong, don’t listen to others and if you are a person who is able to manipulate others, do something good instead for your own. Life is not all about yourself, everyone plays a part in your process of learning.
“I don’t think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there’s some kind of change.” Quoted by Bob Dylan quotes

Abbey: your comment is still here
Wow! great saying, manipulative is like a puppeteer controlling a puppet, able to manipulate movements 
Manipulating takes place in all aspects of our life without ourselves knowing it. Example when you’re working, you’re already being manipulated by your boss to work.
But it’s nothing serious unlike being manipulated to do bad thing. Example terrorist.
Slyvester: Exactly! your right! however it seems like manipulate and motivation seems same
For me its only a matter of trust and taking advantage of it abusively.
Manipulation requires “power” over the “object of manipulation.”
We can manipulate others by overpowering them through literally grasping to power(politics,status,financial)
or, by gaining “trust” from them. Trust for me is the most reliable power that we can posses in order to manipulate others.
The same thing goes to being manipulated, it is easy for others to manipulate us if they have power over us or already gained our trust.
This is a good topic Shawn. Sorry for not posting on your last topic. I found this more interesting. Keep it up ^^.
manipulating or being manipulated for the good is great but dont let yourself be manipulated for the bad. always have your own decision over things and dont regret it
Hannah: Thanks for your support
Yeah! i think this is a good topic too!
Faderon: Yeah! don’t manipulate for the bad
take examples in ppboard.., some players post HIGH PPs with over=keep rules, knowing that it will really over… but what they didn’t know is the pet that was put on PP was a dummy or fake accounts.. and they will use the money of it.. to get rid of their stuck pets.., thats a good example of manipulation XD
Nino: I can’t believe you thought of that. That however is manipulation because of $$ and also deceiving
Without fail, your sharing is welcomed. I’m awaiting to see your next post on this topic.
Abbyy: thank you
We are always fed propaganda by the media. The trick is to get news and opinion from many sources so that you have enough information to separate truth from fiction.
For Example .Now Here In Phil. We Need Some Manipulation . Like A Good President
For Our Good Futures .
Dale: True! this is a kind of manipulation
Kelvin: Yeah! you can relate that too! great
sometimes,we manipulate ACCIDENTALLY..we may manipulate other’s minds just by talking to them…and sometimes we also do not know that we’re already manipulated..hahahah ..its like “Intimidating”
hekhek..
nice topic
Bennjoe: yeah! we don’t even know we are manipulating others sometimes, it’s really a wonderful skill if you use it practically.
Manipulate – to treat or operate with or as if with the hands or by mechanical means especially in a skillful manner
We sometimes manipulate people and we are manipulated without us even knowing. We are manipulated maybe, because they know better or they are more experienced, right? Vice versa. If we know better than that person then we tend to manipulate them.
Thats what i think. LOL.
Mia: good example, totally right
that’s how manipulate starts/
There so many types of manipulation in this world but those most common type of manipulation is. . .
Psychological manipulation – a means of gaining control.
by methods which might be considered unfair.
Like in our Government, President always manipulating people under his position…..Sometimes the effect of manipulating is to improve other skill or etc,,,…
but why god give us brain? God give us brain to think not to rely to other people. . . Its good to manipulate
people in right way but there`s always other people who manipulate for benefit(i don`t know if its the right word^^)
him……
That`s what it think but i still love the topic^^
James: Sorry
your comment is up now. I got to accept it 
well nice saying! exactly psychological manipulation gaining control. yes there are indeed people who manipulate for benefits. Your right.
Manipulating is very powerful. We change their thoughts. We change their actions. We can change anything just by manipulating. Make it an unintentional act or on purpose. People manipulates purposely for a majority reason of selfish wants. A great example is the Media, they manipulate others for the sake of their company, even if its the truth or just a big LIE. But others manipulate for the sake of others life. We manipulate our friends to be a better student, worker, etc. [or the other way around.] Was it really good to manipulate someone? or, would that make things more complicated and confusing? [Make it good or Bad]. That’s what is always in my mind. But oh well, another well-done Job Shawn!
Elaine: Indeed it’s very powerful, i agree with what you said, it’s too my thinking on manipulation
great comment! and thanks very much!
