Manipulation or not!? In the age of Social Media it becomes essential to have multiple qualities in order to survive. People need to know the way to talk, the way to walk and the way to hold an audience. When cancel culture was a thing, this quality was an essential for sure. Even now, it is necessary to know what to say and where to say it!!

And there are multiple reasons for the same. Not just to attract a particular set of people, but to keep hold on them. And not everything that has been said he is always 100% factual.

Sometimes these so called influencers just blabber out things to get attention, to get views and to make a name for themselves. They set a narrative just for the sake of making money and growing, where others fail.

Manipulation is not a new concept to man. It’s not just a social media bane. Whether it is acknowledged or not, it has been going on for centuries altogether.

Right from the time of the Gods, to the time of Kings and eventually technology, manipulation has now become an art. Let’s not call out only politicians for using it. It’s become a tool for daily use. No matter who you are; good, bad of the ugly, you are influenced by it.

But how does manipulation game exactly work and who is affected by it?

Let’s watch a video to understand how manipulation actually works, a theory described by the use of two spheres. It’s quite simple actually to understand but just that people don’t spend enough time on analyzing a quality like MANIPULATION!!

Watch this video now to get a better understanding of this strange game-

So the eventual understanding is, that if you keep saying a thing over an over again people tend to believe that it is the truth. Confidence or rather self-confidence is an attribute that is definitely need to manipulate others.

And at the end of it all, one man or one woman stand to benefit from the whole chaos. They may do it for money, they may do it for fame or they may just do it because it makes them happy!! Materialistic things of the highest order and for some, it’s just GUILTY PLEASURE!!

While the person who may manipulate, may have a sense of victory; the person being manipulated has anger, hate and even self-loathing, once the person realizes what has happened. That is why it is essential to verify facts before accepting anything as the whole truth. No matter who the source!!

Yes some sources are big and credible. But even they make mistakes. And sometimes these mistakes are intentional. And that is the best form of manipulation!!

We cannot always comprehend what is manipulation and what is not. But it’s better to be safe than sorry!!

And at last the question remains, ‘Do you want to be the manipulator or do you want to be the manipulated?’ I think that’s the end game!!
