Economics

Every human interaction
Is an economic transaction.
Conversation? Manipulation?
The haggler's art.
For we all want the best deal.

Another errant thought...

I like to imagine that is all about business and all its glory/gory ways. Ha!

Your errant thoughts my friend are always profound - human nature and its emotion in our daily lives. Manipulation and Conversation - they rhyme and they coexist in the world of business and pleasure. I always believed that the power of words has a strong pull in our emotions, how we act and play in life. Those two will always have two sides – like almost everything does, there will always be disadvantages and advantages of sort in its views and perspective. A very profound piece.

I like to think I'm simply restating in a poetic manner what others already know, or should know anyway. I tend to be a deep thinker but I've found myself in situations where the thoughts just come to me.

It's always wonderful to see your thoughts on things. You have a very contemplative mind and you see much. Thank you my friend. :)

when I wanted to see the broader idea, the little ones gets lost so they tend to be ignored, and its not really good to me, So as much as possible I must be open as possible, right? hehe, smiles, you are most welcome my good friend... your idea simply grows well in your verses...

[Quill~]

I second that!
You polish the convention of human nature, my friend.
It's often undermined by such "hagglers"...not as pretty as you think. ;)

Thanks for stopping by with your compliments. :)

I once said something similar to this to my former best friend. She thought me crass and cold. I thought I was being honest.

[Caradoc]

Push and pull, give and take. I forget the name of the song, but I remember the line; "I want it all and I want it now."

I do believe that if we are honest with ourselves, we are far more selfish than we would like to admit.

Thanks again. :)

Cynical, I like it, I do believe in similar things, such as only fighting tooth and nail for a certain someone because we know that they would do the same for us, and not doing so if we know the other person wouldn't . . . Well done, I like this.

[Caradoc]

Thanks for swinging by. I was just thinking about this the other day. I've been called manipulative in the past and it made me wonder. And I realized they were right, but that they had manipulated me right back and that it was like that with every person I've known. Everyone wanted some kind of control.

[Tai Ryens]

I stand by the notion that life is technically manipulative in general, and we observe so in interspecial relationships such as symbiosis, mutualism, parasitism, and so on and so forth. I agree, though, everyone wants control and they are content so long as they can controls something.

hmmm... thought provoking brilliance, Caradoc, I am still enamored with your short contemplative writes, and this one is of no exception. "Conversation? Manipulation?" a well taught from of communication, one I think we are all well versed in, some more than others. Your errant thoughts spin me in circles. Well done.

[Caradoc]

Some more than others indeed. I think manipulation is something intrinsic to human nature; from the simple look that gains us someone's attention to the complex lies woven by con artists and politicians.

Thank you for reading and reviewing. It's nice to know I'm not that bad at the skill myself...or am I simply being manipulated? Something to think about.

Have a good one. :)

hahaha... there you go spinning me around again. ;) I agree with every word stated above... tends to be why I am so leery of most things/people ... although I will say, your talent is truth and not flattery ;)
