Part of the human condition seems to be that others try to force you to conform to their own limitations. I understand the urge, I guess, but why it seems so imperative to so many I don’t know.

Perhaps my incredibly strong negative reaction to this tendency came from where and how I grew up. I spent so much of my early life being beaten down by others because they wanted me reduced back to their level. Didn’t work; just made me better.
