 There will be people who try to convince you to take actions you don't want to undertake: either they are shady or unethical or beyond your risk tolerance or outright nasty; yet, you'll have this urge, a deep drive, to meet these demands and fulfill these actions in order to gain some favour or benefit even prestige. Humans refer to this as "the workplace" 👀 
 It happens also in social interactions...some people are so good in making you do what they want without you even noticing you are being manipulated, aren't they?
I came to understand that some, are so good because they really believe they are doing something right...
Have been thinking about it. Not all, but some... 
 Ah yes, the psychopaths and narcissists among us -- masters of manipulation 👀 
 must’ve been an interesting day at work :)
