 MANIPULATION

If you didn't feel fear, no one could manipulate you and, by manipulating you, consolidate a mental structure that revolves around adversaries, enemies and opponents everywhere, and by manipulating you induce your hours to be taken up by confrontation with the supposed enemies that threaten you.

If you didn't covet in silence, yes! in silence, because within the silent rules of civilization you cannot confess to greed, you can live by greed, but you cannot make a fuss about it, well, if you didn't covet, it would be impossible to manipulate your desires.

If the sexual impulse were not the dominant note of a large part of your desires, nor was sexuality a kind of reward that you want to obtain to make you feel good for having made the effort to live within the rules of civilization, it would be impossible to manipulate you and make you believe in advertising promises.

However, as you feel fear, you also feel greed and sexuality dominates your thoughts, while you imagine having fun on social media, well-organized groups, armed with bad intentions, they manipulate you.

If you want to be truly free and contribute to making our civilized world nobler, master your fear, your greed and your sexual drive.

Words are not mere winds articulated by the larynx, words carry meanings and intentions, and can cause lethal effects that, even if they are not revealed immediately, they are like time bombs.
