LOL...ever since mankind has been able to speak, there has always been manipulation in every person's daily life. Some are Pro and some are Con. What one must determine is, which is which. One must learn to be able to distinguish who is actually speaking more correctly. Take for example this story: A person A is walking down the sidewalk when another person B approaches them. They engage in speaking and person B tells person A that he will make a $5.00 bet that they can tell person A where they got there shoes. Person A thinks they can outwit person B and takes that bet. Person B then tells person A that they got there shoes on their feet. Person B manipulated person A in engaging and takes person A's money. But, throughout this engagement person C, being with person A tries to get person A not to engage, as person C knows it is a con.
