About This Quote
Peter, consciously or otherwise, resent domination. If the domination is by an inferior, or by a supposed inferior, the resentment becomes stronger. In other words, many people have a deep-seated need to be in control and they will fight hard to maintain that control. The problem is that far too many people take on the role of an “inferior” and feel powerless and resentful as a result.
