Excerpt:
“Only someone without power can make a powerful person try to set that power aside, stand on the same level as them, and think through and solve a problem together.”
“The weak are always asking the strong to understand their hardships. But the strong are strong because they don’t have to be constrained by the outside world. You, however, are trying to drag me down and make me one of the weak, bound on every side and unable to do as I please, just like them.”
