I’m currently reading Paulo Coelho’s The Witch of Portobello. Last night, this entry on page seven caught my eye…

You can’t have a reason to love someone because love…is.
When you’re feeling manipulated it’s because of your blindness and fear from your own being.
A manipulator can feel your doubt and will take advantage of it.
I don’t believe that running away will help, you have to overcome this problem first before you can decide to go away.
I’ve read the whole chapter again and I took this conclusion, “you can’t point your finger to someone else without pointing back to yourself”.
Everybody has his own purpose and responsibility to follow…nobody can say what’s right or wrong, although I’m sure that arrogance won’t take you that far as an open spirit who gives as a teacher and receives as a student.
I want to thank you for this blogpost as a student and teacher because I do believe in synchronization.

I agree with you when you said that running away will not help. I guess I was reading just a small piece of the entry and was thinking of a certain someone who was in a relationship where the only solution was to stay away from the other person. I couldn’t understand why the other person, aware of the ‘manipulation’, continues to allow being used by the other person.
After reading the full piece (Andrea McCain, 32, Actress), all I could think of was ‘mirroring’ — she was just trying so hard to blame someone else. That said, “both parties know what they’re doing, even if one of them complains later on that they were used” — sad, but true. You may be aware and accept that this is happening to you, but it doesn’t mean that you are doing anything about it. Alas, we can only learn from our mistakes. What happens next, is up to you.
Best wishes.
