About This Quote

The will to power is one of the greatest threats to the human condition. It is always at work, and it is always seeking to destroy us. That is why we must be careful about how we interact with those outside our tribe. We all experience those moments where those around us seem to want to use us as a means of gaining power over us. The best way to avoid this manipulation and control is to choose service and limit ourselves to those we love and trust.
