Some people only want to be manipulated because thinking for themselves is too painful for them, as it would confront them with who they really are. But that's something only the right-wing bastards understand

Why is it so bad to manipulate other people? Little children do it everyday with almost all people around them!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha!! Well babies and children do it because they have no other way to communicate.As they grow up they organise their mind so they can discuss about their needs and desires.This is much easier .. don't you think?

I think they grow up, organise their mind and reach new higher levels of manipulation, and use them in discussions about their needs and desires
Well personally I prefer not to use tricks and manipulations, but if you now about them and resist them, then speaking with person, who tries to manipulate you turning into the funny game.

I agree.Nor i like manipulation and tricks but resistance is not always easy because manipulators have a unique way to "play"with other's feelings and weakness......The point is that i don't want to turn any kind of comminucation in a funny game.........

I can understand that, and respect your way of communication. But for myself I love to play games with words and with interlocutor. But no offence - just a game

I also love to have fun in conversations and play with words.. I have an objection about the word GAME. My opinion is that in any kind of games there are winners and losers and communication is about sharing and exchanging thoughts and aspects not about winning or losing.

I think you are talling about differen kind of communication - with different final points.
1) Exchanging information, discussion and e.t.c (it is like cooperation in office or fabric for gaining one great aim)
2) Just having fun in conversation (like playing games with a ball in the yard)
I think there is other ways to.. for exampe- saying jokes to figure out discuss serious things

Jokes are always included in funy conversations. Who can always talk seriously and be always serious? It's not healthy at all...

Κατερινάκι γεια σου καλή μου. Χρόνια Πολλά και για την γιορτή σου. Λίγο καθυστερημένα βέβαια αλλά τώρα τελευταία μπαίνω πολύ σπάνια στο site. Η κόρη μου είναι τρίτη λυκείου φέτος και είμαι όσο μπορώ από κοντά και επιπλέον ασχολούμαι πολύ πιο εντατικά με το τραγούδι. Κάναμε μια μικρή μπάντα και τραγουδάμε. Φιλιά πολλά και να είστε όλοι καλά

Καλημέρα Αργυρώ μου! Εγώ να δείς... Ειχα μήνες να μπώ.. Δέν είναι αργά. Σαράντα μέρες δέν λένε ότι κρατάει; Σ΄ευχαριστώ που με θυμήθηκες .Πολύ άγχος ,σε καταλαβαίνω.Καλά κάνεις και ασχολείσαι πιό εντατικά με το τραγούδι γιατί έχεις καταπληκτική φωνή καί είμαι σίγουρη ότι πάτε πολύ καλά.
Φιλιά πολλά καλή μου καί μη χανόμαστε...

Strictly speaking of the definition: www.merriam-webster.com/dictio… there's nothing wrong with manipulation - it's our way of interacting with the world around us. But you are likely referring to psychological manipulation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycholo…
That form is used by a person (the manipulator) to get what they want by underhanded, deceptive, or abusive tactics. However, I think the act of manipulation depends as much on the "victim" as on the "manipulator". In a barter system of exchange, with two individuals haggling over the sale of an item: if the purchaser believes they have come away from the deal with the better part of the bargain even if the seller has used deception to make the sale - have they been manipulated? Or in the reverse case, if a society becomes so jaded and paranoid that everyone is trying to take advantage of them, will it not be the case that every interaction will become tainted by the doubt of being manipulated?
What would be the answer to avoiding manipulation? To desire nothing from our fellows? To make every interaction into a binding legal contract with both parties agreeing to all points of interest? Is it possible to find a happy medium of equity between parties? Do we enforce a rigid value system so that everyone desires the same things to the same relative degree? The only way of ensuring the removal of all deception and underhandedness is through open, honest, and concise communication and a willingness to listen and understand the opposing party. Impartial third parties might be of use in providing corrections to misunderstandings between opponents.
This piece easily elicits a feeling of sorrow and confusion in the choice of colours and the facial expressions. The figure to the left also appears to be causing or stemming blood loss, either from itself or from the foreground figure. I might read this as self-harm or stabbing someone in the back, although neither figure seems to be expressing the malice that might be expected from a manipulator.
It is another haunting piece, indeed.

Yes i am refering to psychological manipulation.I would never say that everyone desires the same things to the same degree but as we are humans we always have the possibillity to talk about our desires. Everyone has the right to decide if he does or doesn't want to be part of something...I like so much "clear" words... You don't have to manipulate someone . Just talk about your desires or your needs and don't try to get what you want by manipulation. The point is that you never get something real through it because there isn't any kind of free will.Manipulation is a confused relationship based on on pain on fear and on lack of respect.
Thank you very much for your comment and as always i really appreciated that.

I'm curious; as one of my more active watchers, do you perceive me as having been manipulative?
I ask because while I initially started drawing / painting again as a form of enjoyment and relaxation - after being prompted to take it up again by a co-worker of mine - I have since come to recognize that it has more importance / power than I originally gave it credit for. Finding re-occurring themes in my creations has made me feel that there is more substance there than a simple colourful image. Whether it is uncovering a hidden reality to life or simply unresolved tensions/conflicts/traumas, I am not sure.
You mentioned in our previous conversation, that feeling was important; as artists, our works often cause others to experience various emotions. How is this not an example of manipulation? It may not be intentional, but it will often have an effect on others and may be perceived as being manipulative.
I do not believe that you would suggest we restrict ourselves to representing only beauty and joy. Even pain and fear have their place in experience. So how much should we self-censor our art? Is there art that should only be for ourselves and our select inner circle of family and friends? Or should our circles include the public, as a whole, sharing everything of ourselves? I just listened to a CBC radio show about mystery writer P.D. James and her comments on the breakdown of privacy during the course of a police investigation were quite interesting and, I thought, applicable to the realm of art, as well...

No i don't perceive you as manipulative.. not at all.I don't consider art manipulative. Artists express their feelings through their art but viewers are always free to like or don't like it, to feel or not to feel any emotional connection with it.Viewer could think about artist's pain or fear or anything else without any sense of connection.My opinion is that artists have not the intension to manipulate but to share their art with others,to communicate with them as we do now. I don't really suggest anything ... Beauty,joy,fear,pain,happiness...anything can be expressed with art.
I'll check the link later..Thank you.
