How fragile are we?

Humans, we are so fragile both physical and mental. We are easily controlled, manipulated and directed. We resemble some infantile kids lost in their own perspective of a world, waiting for some euphemistic guidance. How often do we get directed? How often do we get persuaded to or against something? Is freewill but a theoretical, theatrical notion? People are constantly using people either consciously or subconsciously. It’s how we function.

It is a basic instinct, maybe, we all have it. We survive by manipulating others. We manipulate them into doing what we can’t, what we couldn’t, what we need and what we are afraid of. We are being manipulated to be a certain person, to have a certain job, to earn a certain living, to live a certain life style and the list goes on. We are manipulated by society. We are even manipulated by our own thoughts and desires; even our mind plays tricks on us. We are not free, nor will we ever be. We often discover too late that we have manipulated someone into doing something or that we ourselves have been manipulated. We rarely discover the fact during the process. But, eventhen, how can we fathom the manipulation of our own minds, our own desires and fears. The repression we have been practicing for years without even realising. The love we think we deserve, the pain, and the glory. Is life itself nothing but a lie?


Apparently, we don’t have the luxury of choice or of a conscious choice. We never did.
