Why Is It So Easy To Be Manipulated? by qwenu: 3:53pm On Dec 12, 2018 |
The first reason is that as human beings, we tend to be afraid of something. Not necessarily the crippling, terrorizing kind of fear, but the type that can act as a motivation for our actions. If you have interacted with a wealthy person who grew up in extreme poverty, you would probably notice that their greatest fear is to go back to nothing. And so, at every point in time, they are conscious of not making decisions that would propel them back into poverty. Sometimes, they are so careful in their spending that we think they are tight-fisted. Our fear of the unknown, of unpleasant consequences, or of unfavourable outcomes can cause us to be easily manipulated by others who seek to take advantage of us. Our desires can also lead to deceitful people manipulating us, especially when we let these desires overtake logical reasoning. The truth is, we all want something. From economic stability to peace of mind; every day we live our lives in pursuit of desires that would bring us happiness and fulfilment. Or drive us into the hands of charlatans if we are not on our guard https://qwenu.com/2018/12/12/why-is-it-so-easy-to-be-manipulated/
