Is "gaslighting" an intrinsic part of human nature?

Galighting is a malignant manipulation carried out by a narcissistic person, generally to emotionally destabilize his interlocutor in order to intern him and obtain material and non-material benefits.

There is micro-gaslighting on a personal and family level or among friends, then there is also macro-gaslighting, at an institutional (national) but also international level ... halfway there are many orders and degrees.

The Bible tells us:

"God is truthful but every man is a liar".

It also tells us:

"all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" ...

we are all gaslighters in one form or another.

in fact, gaslighting has many forms, one of them is "deflection" that is to change the subject ... jump from one subject to the other, try to prevaricate/hide or change the subject very slowly, and in a malicious way.

A film from the last century was produced:
"Gas Light" ,
starring Ingrid Bergman

... but the origin of the term dates back to the civil war in the late 1800s in the United States.
When it ended many young men found themselves alive, yes, but poor

... and so they joined women, but since all young women of their age were also poor ... so they started searching for the wealthy ones: those who were wealthy (inherited land, money and material goods from their husbands who died in the war) had a small flaw:

... advanced age!

For those young people it was a boring life and therefore forced to have a young lover secretly ... waiting for the old woman to pass "to a better life in heaven! " ... but it often happened that they never passed swiftly, especially if they were in good health,

so the only solution (at the suggestion of the father of malice, the devil) was to try to "intern them" {the gaslighting would have given a little push} , the devil got in the way whispering in the ear "intern her, intern her "!
