I think our pets do attempt to manipulate us in the technical sense of the word. But the difference is our pets have no malice of intent or any agenda beyond food or attention. The same can not be said for humans.
Many Blessings!
That's not manipulation. Manipulation implies treating another as an object. Your cat is simply asking for what it wants.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
