Always is. The word is CONTROL. We can even, in all honesty, tie in the whole Good v Evil virtues.... Its so easy, and it can be tested on real people, and it has been demonstrated adequately. If someone, wants to control the behavior of others, affecting their actions and guiding their choices.. if you desire this, you may not be "evil" but your intent is tainted with it, even if you think you're right. Even if you are right, you wont be once you start controlling others. Even if you aren't evil you will be after years of behaving as if it were acceptable. Now, take the evilist fucker you can find as an example, a real shithead who has hurt plenty of people, look at their actions and quotes, do they seek to control others? Guaranteed, or as is said in these parts, every fucking time. Take that same evil fucker and imagine their history without them ever committing to controlling others, would any of the bad examples have happened in that scenario? Nope. A free man hates the taste of a yoke and makes no excuses for it. >> I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine My theory: The only way to live in peace, is to stop picking on your brothers and play nice. We still retain all the goodness of life, and we can still argue and yell to our hearts content about policy, all this is fine and dandy. Its when we say "you must" that we become the very sort of villian we flee. Most recently, especially in this covid bullshit scenario, and for some time before... I've developed a tactic of forcing people to verbalizing their intent as it regards to myself. Example: "you have to wear a mask" .... No I dont, what happens if I dont, do you intend to take my freedom? My money? My guns? My family? Once you come full circle, you end up asking "What do you want to take away from me" and the answer will become "If you dont obey, everything!" The fantasy is that the antagonist here will suddenly admit and realize what they've done and immediately reel in horror at their own actions. This never happens. They will tell you with a straight face, even the horrible answer "I will take from you" and remain clueless as to the source of your rage. Despite this, I believe it is necessary to speak it, who will know I resisted and called it what it was? I will know. Who does that matter to? Me... duh. tl:dr - Do not seek the ability to control others, for any purpose. It's the wrong thing to do.
