The urge to control others is a disease. Those who preoccupy themselves with this psychological disorder, end up in terrible loneliness or self pity. Because deep inside, nobody wishes to be controlled. You may allow yourself to be controlled for a particular reason. If human beings value freedom, there will always be a resistance against external control. This does not mean rejection of structures which facilitate social order for common good. For they too express control on individuals. But when the control mongers use social structures to strengthen their own power and social disparities, then it is time for medication and treatment. At this moment in history, we have only started preparing the medicines. From the perspective of the control mongers, they genuinely can not understand this human need to remain as liberated souls. And when loneliness is received in return, they would not know how to deal with that also. I can only sympathize or at the most empathize with those who indulge themselves in this disorder. Be prepared to hear about `control maniac martyrs' in the nearby future.
