I've learnt that manipulators can be incredible good at what they do (good as in effective, not good as in good). That only through living it, can you truly know it.
That cowardice and (unbalanced) self-interest are very common and can be very destructive to others.
That being a kind-hearted honest person doesn't guarantee anything worth living, unless one applies said kindness and honesty to oneself.
That honesty isn't always the best policy, sometimes you need to keep truths close to your heart and for certain ears only, as some will use whatever they can get on you, against you.
That unconditional giving and caring need to be tempered with discernment and street savvy.
That you can't love some people into being loving. Lovingness is an inner state and you must give to yourself and those that can reciprocate, for the wellspring to be ongoingly bountiful.
