Ideal Weapon

K, from 2021, once said,

"Human have many tricks up their sleeves when it comes to survival. One such crucial skill is deception or manipulation. You might have heard how it is a malpractice, but there lies something more beneath the surface.

Sure, you might have once encountered manipulative people around you, there's at least one Joe in our lives who knows how to get their work done. Sometimes it's just second nature for many. Gemini (if you believe in Zodiac) are considers to be natural manipulators, but what if were to tell you no one is born manipulator. With age you just get better at this game.

Life is a game, and manipulation is your mega weapon at winning it. The only difference will be the goal you are trying to achieve. To be honest with you all form of manipulation is good; from the perspective of manipulator, that is. In animal kingdom, smaller Cuttlefish pretends to be a female to attract larger males and mate with their partners, yeah sounds cringe but it's true. The smaller one manipulates the giant that he got lucky and is getting laid with two, but the small guy just passed his genes. Humans achieve different agendas through this tool.

Even one of history's most ruthless dictator, Hitler was fooled an elaborate act of military deception. That's manipulation used for some good reason, also one of the best act, so much so that even though the forces achieved their purpose Hitler was still convinced the fake army would attack.

Deception and Manipulation go and in hand, lying and planting ideas is all what the two narrow down to. The entire career of a Magician depends on these two skills, manipulating you to focus on where they don't want you to and then deceiving you.

Well, manipulation is also used in our regular household you see. A small child is the perfect example, some kids just naturally grow this habit of getting things done, they might seem cute when they do so. Weather it's act of crying, puppy face or even exploiting an unsuspecting adult, it's funny to see a lot of young parents fall for these tricks.

A child might not be the biggest threat, but Aliens are. I don't believe in the fact that the 'real MIB' hides aliens but promote them instead. There's a running controversy that the MIB (Men In Black) are a part of American air force. Their mission is to keep the tech and test a secret. Manipulating the masses into believing what they saw was an extraterrestrial object, while the actuality is an unclassified weapon of war. I wonder what else is America hiding. I mean how convenient is it that mostly Americans spot the aliens.

A realistic organization hiding aliens would be undetected, it could be out there right now, they won't be sloppy to come up on camera what so ever.

In a relationship, the parties always play a complicated version of Cards. Sometimes these lovebirds are manipulated without even them noticed. You know how before Valentine's day there's this whole week, "the Valentine's week," yeah that week, yikes. Anyways. Did you know there wasn't anything like that initially, not was Valentine's day originally for couples. Chocolate, soft toy, jewelry, floral industry plant this whole idea into our heads that these are essentials to prove your love. Heck nowadays even sex sells during Valentine's. Dating is an elaborate trap, the lovers are constantly manipulated into doing certain things when in relationship. The worst part is people are so manipulated that they consider Materialistic pleasures over simple bonding process. Nobody wants real, fake is the norm.

We like to be heroes of our own lives, as a result we want to be the one to take the best decisions of our lives. A lot of forums take advantage of just that, one such lie is our society. Since birth we are fed lies and are precepted to ideas that may or may not hold up. I don't know why I don't follow the crowd that often, is it because I was lucky enough to see its flaws? I thing's it's more to do with my abilities to deceive or even manipulate people.

I won't deny the fact that I'm a manipulative person. Sometimes, I can't be trusted. I'm a sick liar, capable of not once breaking in an interrogation. Have practiced countless scenarios, and even in real life I pretty much lie every day. Only difference is 'My lies hurt no one'. Being a liar makes it easier for me to catch a lie.

Sometimes lies are harmful. Sometimes they are tools for greater purpose. They biggest achievement would be when you can lie to yourself with total confidence. This ability to manipulate yourself out of something is quite as difficult. Manipulation is quite necessary for my survival, without it I would have bleed my guts out.

Manipulation is a power, to master is one must realize what is it capable of. One wrong move and your elaborate empire falls like dominos."
