Some people try to get what they want and will do whatever it takes. By hook or by crook, come hell or high water, do or die, they must achieve their goals. For them, the end justifies the means. These are dangerous mindsets, and we may have some of these mindsets as well. It is always good and healthy to be reminded of these warnings and to be aware about the "marks" of manipulative people so that we can either avoid them or repent of them.
