Manipulation
It could happen to the best of persons. No, I don't mean BEING manipulated but rather being the person who MANIPULATES. Personally, I don't care much for people who manipulate others solely to satisfy their own needs. Oh, don't get me wrong; I may accept the notion of a barter trade, simply put, If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. However, I simply could not condone the act of pure manipulation. You put a person into a situation where he/she does not want to be or is unwilling to be in. It is not a commendable act. For one, it compromises that person's opinion of you; and two, it would lead to only temporary happiness.
Dear God, may those people kiss the ground they spit on.
