Control and Manipulation

I don’t know if anyone can understand this post. But aren’t there times you see yourself to be controlled and manipulated?

Statements like: You don’t take care of yourself. You are always busy. You come back home tired and fatigued. You put so many things in your schedule. What about us? What about home and kids’ responsibilities?

This is like a push and pull between finding your true self and being dragged to the need to be responsible enough towards your home and family.

This feels like a mental cage. You are being caged in a box triggered to do what you are being told and follow along.

Then comes the thought: Is this fair? Does this make any sense? Am I here to be controlled and manipulated? Am I here to be scared and numb?

What about our human freewill? What about our personal freedom to choose and take decisions? What about our personal space and privilege to sit alone with our thoughts and contemplate what is going on in our life?

Aren’t these questions worth processing before you blindly accept to be controlled and manipulated?
