What controls your aversions and desires controls you. And if that person is not you, it doesn't matter how strong you are, how rich you are, how famous you are, how powerful you are, you are a slave.

you could be all of what you are, and someone would pass on it, desire you privately. But because society says that someone has to look a certain way or be a certain way or that you want to gain favor by having someone who looks a certain way on your arm, I've seen it a lot. And it's always disturbed me, quite frankly, that you're not even choosing what you actually like.
