Well, today I realise just how much power I have over some people, and how easy it could be to abuse the power. Actually, I think the word is trust. Power and trust seem to me to be the same thing.
Now, I am nothing particularly amazing, but, I admit to being charismatic. I don't really completely understand charisma, but, I usually can get people to come around to my way of thinking without really trying.... which is creepy.
I am in a position of trust, and/or power. And in this I use my charisma for good. I get people to do the right thing to benefit themselves.
But it would be really easy to do the wrong thing, and get people to do something to benefit me.... I could easily take advantage of others. I can always see an end-game, and often, I see the possibilities of how things could be manipulated. I guess having a huge IQ comes in negatively at times too, as I can see things several steps ahead. Life is far too much like chess sometimes.
However, I am happy to say that I err on the side of caution, and I don't ever want to manipulate someone into anything. Well.... I don't want to hurt anyone. I may carry on manipulating for good....
