No one can manipulate anyone else. In any relationship, both parties know what they're doing. even if one complains later on that they were used.
Paulo CoelhoMany people in this world are merely playing a role, unaware that there is an Invisible Hand guiding them.
Paulo CoelhoThe Lord often has his prophets climb mountains to converse with Him. I always wondered why He did that, and now I know the answer: when we are on high, we can see everything else as small. Our glory and sadness lose their importance. Whatever we conquered or lost remains there below. From the heights of the mountain, you see how large the world is, and how wide its horizons.
