As the word suggests, we are manipulated all through life, from the moment of conception to that final prayer. Some cases are obvious and others are not so much. Oddly enough we accept this as normalacy, embrace it even. I suppose it's human nature. The rich get richer and the rest of us just get by on the meager salary we work our butts off for, but thats okay.
For example, as I write my first ever post, I am being exploited as it is. I am babysitting for my own family, I get no money for the countless hours i sit, bored. Okay, fair enough my parents buy me the odd thing but it usually isn't something i desire but thats life. i may be being exploited but i am using it valuably, homework, revision the usual. Or perhaps, the fact i am on minimum wage on my job, i work harder than any of my team mates, i give up more of my time but i cant even get slightly above minimum wage.
I know it looks like im just whining about how corrupt capitalism is. shockingly im not though, I'm one of the few people who just accepts what I get no questions ask. But whilst I write, I often find myself recollecting on life. Missed chances, ruined opportunities and even those times i laughed and cried for no reason.
I suppose Life is what it is but isn't always what it seems. Its hard yet easy at times. Life is made up of forces that all coincide, act and react.
