Manipulators….

Put things slightly out of context and you could have even an entire generation swept away in the belief that uncared for helpless old women are witches that only deserve to be burnt alive on a stake…. or scientists that have discovered great things, sacrilegious heathens that need to be stoned to death!!!

And such manipulators exist in plenty in every walk of life…. In religion… in politics… in society… at the work place… in every geography… in every time period…. Anywhere where there is a faint possibility for scoring points at the cost of others… or to gain by making someone else look bad… or by merely diminishing the contributions that their self-declared adversary makes!!!

It basically takes being able to say or do anything at that point in time to mold that situation to meet ones selfish ends….

And it calls for a certain level of cleverness, spinelessness, hypocrisy, spitefulness and being double tongued to be such a person!!!

Unfortunately, such people exist and even thrive for a period… and those that fall a prey to their antics and giving in to their manipulative tactic, may not even realize what they are losing or giving up on…. And then those poor souls… the targets… there is no telling what they have to deal with for all this unfairness was thrust on them for the mere fault that their presence threatened these manipulators, or that these manipulators wanted to make them the scapegoats for some ulterior reasons!!!

For a varnished eye, these manipulators, the manipulated as well as the victims are extremely easy to identify in most cases…. And we all know when this manipulation machine is in the works… Yet we all choose to turn a blind eye to it…. Strange!!!

Now let’s accept this… there is a little bit of all these three people in most of us…. You have at some point been victimized… you probably have been an aide to manipulation or at a minimum been a silent spectator when you could have spoken up and played your part… and if you are honest to yourself, you probably were the manipulator yourself!!!

Leading a life of truth and integrity and commitment to the Supreme calls for a higher level of existence….

Being naive or fickle or manipulative are all weaknesses that we must grow over, for none of them suggest that level of existence!!!

It’s time you put your inner strength to work and be the man you are truly meant to be!!!
