You can use it as a tool to get what you want. But the problem with that is that it assumes you know what you want, and that you're right. And that's a problem, because there's lots of things you don't know, and if you get what you want you may find that (A.) You didn't really want it, and (B.) that you're not the person that started the journey towards that. That happens a lot to people, especially when they use their language in a manipulative way.“ — Jordan Peterson „Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.“ — Richard Bach „What you don't understand you can make mean anything.“ — Chuck Palahniuk „As long as you are convinced you have never done anything, you can never do anything.“ — Malcolm X „Can you see me? Can you hear me? Does anything I say mean anything to you?“ — Oprah Winfrey
