Manipulating Convenience

Everybody wants the best for them selves, they may be altruistic in certain situations, but in general, every individual looks for its own benefit. Sometimes one gets the benefit because he is lucky, but when capable of manipulating results, every human will turn the scale in their favor. They do it since they are young. "The sight of her child smiling, or the sound of her kitten purring, is rewarding to a mother, in the same sense as food in the stomach is rewarding to a rat in a maze. But once it becomes true that a sweet smile or a loud purr are rewarding, the child is in a position to use the smile or the purr in order to manipulate the parent, and gain more than its fair share of parental investment."
With time, humans learn how to arrange things to benefit them and the manipulation gets smoother and smother until it is no longer noticeable. A person learns to live and survive in their life and gets the environment around him/her to support survival and comfort. If a person is capable of utilizing their bosses, they will. They will get employees do do what they are told and even friends and family to please them as much as possible. But wanting these things is not enough. One must learn how to apply the manipulating strategies and one must know when to use the appropriate ones. Its a trial and error technique. one can use guilt or positive conditioning to see which affects in a more efficient way the victim and then the manipulation begins. One way or another, we all learn what will get us going in life and naturally begin to apply it in order to survive. We all have our own way and we all use it. We all want to keep going. We all want to survive.
