There was an important person in my past who was always afraid that I was tricking him, or might trick him, or had tricked him. By tricking, he meant manipulated, which of course was possible to do, but honestly not something I ever really did. At least not intentionally.
It is pretty hard to trick people unless they want it.
Even as a young child I had to work to believe in all those fairy tales grown-ups pushed towards me. My mother said those who did not believe, did not partake of the fruits of those beliefs.
If there was one thing I believed in, it was the power of my mother to give and to take away almost anything in my life. I definitely believed in making her happy, or as happy as I could.
I think that might be true for many people. Mothers and fathers too, have a huge impact on the people their children grow into.
A foggy belief in control can impact people for the rest of their lives, making them equate love with things that have nothing to do with love, but are only the by products of deeply ingrained misconceptions.
