One should never lose sight that the one who gives orders and gives away constraints is a being of communication.
The order is the form taken by the message conveyed.
Such a person does not know any better way to initiate a relation than injunction and discipline.
He is the prisoner of his inability to truly communicate.
The person he is speaking to may reflect the outside of the narrow spectrum,
Where narrowness has never been ; he can listen to this intention to communicate, the clumsiness in his manner to communicate, see the underlying suffering, the smothering of the one thus whipping reality through orders and discipline.

Many thanks to all

Such a person, often, is merely the prisoner of a hierarchy, passing on the orders he never formulated under the pretext of always supporting them.
It is that automatic support that disturbs me.

Hello SImon,
If I remember correctly, this short note was about finding enough inner space to understand people who are unable to function if not on an authoritarian mode.
Including myself.

It’s a common failing, and self examination the only effective path to remedy and understanding.
