(00:00):
What just came to me is maybe is manipulation.

(00:05):
You know, and no one likes to be manipulated.
You know when you're being manipulated, you can feel it.
And sometimes you don't feel it until after the fact
because there are people that are really good manipulators
because they spend their lives manipulating people.
So sometimes you don't even know it's happened
until after the fact.
But those that have any piece of discernment can say,

(00:27):
okay, this person is manipulating me.
And that's exactly what maybe does.
Now, of course, maybe is when I say it in that context,
people are like, wow, that's so extreme.
Because yes, yes, it's not a knife cutting your throat.
No, it is a pin pricking your thumbs.
Yet and still, in both situations, you still bleed.

(00:47):
And that is why maybe it's manipulation.
And we have to move out of that space
so that we as a whole human race
can be more accountable to each other
and be more dependable to each other.
