Manipulating your point of view

Every book is a manipulation 👀

A writer is more likely to use the words or slangs common in his era when writing a story especially if he's trying to show the audience of the injustice happening in their society. But racism has and still exists in a lot of books, sometimes it's put there intentionally and other times it's just there without the knowledge of the author, slipped into the words silently because it's a normal thing in their society at that time. 

Like in a novel written by a Pakistani, one might present the sacrifice of a women for a man as something expected and mandatory. Now this might seem racist to some people within or out of Pakistan, people who belong to a different mindset or society.

Just like the movies, books also have all kinds of dirt. The devil also reads books in his spare time, and he does not stop at that, he also writes them. Thus, we need to be careful of the choices we make while selecting new books to read. We should recognize bad things like racism, porn or manipulation in the books we read, beware others of them and get rid of such books.

Every book is a manipulation and each writer a manipulator. In every book, the writer tries to convince the audience of his point of view. Sometimes he plainly throws his views at us and says Hell, here it is. I said it. What now? He leaves it up to us to decide whether we will accept his views or not and the other times the writer slips his song into our ears without our knowledge, like a serpent silently wrapping up around his victim. That's the game. Whatever book you are reading, let it be a cute time passing romance or the heavy politics you are trying to drown in or the spellbinding mystery, the moment you forget that you are reading somebody's point of view not the absolute truth, you become a slave, robbed of your own ability to form a healthy innate thought.
