We command out of need.
Or out of love.
We need people for our goals.
And then there are loved ones whose goals we like to decide.
Ambition and love cancels logic; we begin dictating.
Sure, there’s sensation to command.
But it’s governed by either fear or love.
People will either fear you and obey you.
Or they will respect you and follow you.
Both fear and love have expiry dates.
They have limits.
Fear inspires people to overcome it.
Love brings expectations from you that you’ll eventually tire of fulfilling; and your followers will drop away too.
In the end, there’s only you.
And that’s your ultimate truth.
See it NOW, when you have time.
True that you can’t do everything alone; true that one needs to develop influence;
But do develop that individualistic strength whenever you can.
Let it be a parallel stream of personal evolution in your social life.
And check that love you feel for your family and friends.
Love is meant to free, not to fret them with your restrictions.
Provide support when you can; but be a just channel for their energy; not a chancellor.
