If we fear manipulative people, it is only because we do not realize that every being on this earth (including ourselves) is manipulative. Manipulation is not evil.
It does not mean that someone intends to hurt or use other people for their own benefit.
So what does it mean to be manipulative?
To be manipulative is to speak and act in a way that guarantees that we get the response we want to get from other people.
So you see, manipulation is how most of us try to get love.
Manipulation is how most of us try to get safety... because we do not trust the world to be kind to us.
Everyone is manipulative, we are simply more or less aware of that aspect within ourselves.
