The Path and the Place

Your place and role—alpha and omega of self-identification, the starting point of all plans and calculations. If you define correctly, there is hope for the plans to be realized. If you define incorrectly, everything falls apart because either, in the eyes of others, you behave “not according to rank,” or there aren’t enough resources to implement the plans. If you define yourself at all incorrectly, you become a toy in someone else’s hands, since you don’t have the ability to determine: are the requirements placed on you the right ones, and are the tasks you set yourself within your power?

Life asks with no discounts or indulgence. Your place is with a minor teenager, yet you act as the manager of very substantial resources, the commander

of military power, the teacher and educator of hundreds of youths. If you can’t refuse this role, change your place in society. There is no other way!
