The Art of Manipulation

Yes! You read it write. Manipulation indeed is an art. It’s subtle, soft, subconscious, and very real. You are in it before you know. It is everywhere.

As humans, we often neglect our own voice and are more responsive to what we are expected to hear. We walk, talk, live, breathe, all under a structure but what happens when we derail ourselves. What happens we realise that our whole life is a lie. We are not what we look like. Do we pause and analyse or Do we take action towards making a change? What would you change in your life if you had a second chance?

We don’t understand how deep we are into the societal structure until and unless we realise it. We finish school, graduate, get a job, get married, have children, look after them, grow old, retire and then die. If asked most of you will agree that this is how life is supposed to be but is it really? We believe we are exactly where we want to be and make peace with it but have you ever questioned your reality. Is this really what you wanted? Don’t you think we are unnecessarily indebted to our appearance than we are to ourself? Don’t you think we have been manipulated to believe in this structure?

This is where the art lies. The trick is believing in something that would probably never occur to us. The human mind is so fragile that we believe in anything without even blinking an eye. We are easily manipulated into anything and everything. By the time we realise, we are in it before we know. It’s hard, strong, resistant, and almost unbreakable, the art of manipulation.
