Domination

Knowing yourself is important. The imperfections within yourself should be recognized, and worked on. But unless you allow them to, they are not who define you.

Similarly, I've remembered that simple concerns such as kindness, comfort, compassion, and consideration should not be the exception, rather than the rule. Just as important as knowing yourself is knowing others, and understanding that your connections with them can only grow, change and become beautiful from your flexibility in working with them. Not against them.

In reality, there is no ultimate ruler. There is only compromise.
