coercion [Theme] Page 3

The party told you not to believe their eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart fell at the thought of what enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which it shot down in a dispute any party ideologist - clever arguments that he not what to refute, can not understand. And he is right, though! They are wrong and he is right. Obvious, elementary, the faithful must be protected. A truism is true - and stay there! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall toward the center of the Earth.

As if some gigantic force pushing you into the skull, RAM's brain, fear of the bouncer you their beliefs, were forced not to believe his own senses. In the end the party would announce that two and two made five, and you have to believe it.

Coercion only leads to more victims and it is impossible to make people happy by force, as it is impossible to force them to turn to good.

Compulsory military service - a monstrous invention, one of the greatest evils of our time. Who needs it: to put on people uniforms and send them to kill each other? Once the knights in good field entered in fights, war was their sport, and anything else they simply were not good. But no one had not occurred to shackle the philosopher or poet in armor and chase him in the field.

Once the Wind said to the Sun:
"I'm stronger. See there an old man in a raincoat? I bet that will strip it faster than you."
The sun hid behind a cloud and the Wind began to blow. It blew stronger, until it became a hurricane, but the old man only tightly wrapped in a cloak. Finally the wind got tired and verse. Then from-for clouds the Sun came out and smiled warmly to the traveler. Soon the old man became hot and he took off his cloak. And then the Sun told the Wind that gentleness and friendliness are always more effective than rage and coercion.

Art lives of compulsion and dies from freedom.

Do not forget that the word has impact. And if you want to compel me to action, not to prove anything to me. Do you think that will move me arguments? I find weightier and move them against you.

From everybody who tells you what to do, it stinks of whiskey.

Compulsion - the rhetoric of power.

"Face to the village" -
the task given
for harp,
poets-friend!
Understand W -
my face
one
it is the face, not a weathervane.

Once I had the idea that if I wanted to completely crush, to destroy, to punish him the most terrible punishment so that the most terrible killer might cramp this punishment and was frightened of it beforehand, it would cost just to give the character of perfect, utter futility and meaninglessness. <...> Of course, such a punishment would turn to torture, revenge and it would be pointless, because did not reach any reasonable goal. But as of this torture, meaninglessness, humiliation and shame is certainly in any forced work, and hard labor much more painful all of the free, is the fact that necessary.

Freedom increases power, and power always leads to a well-known generosity. Forcing suppresses strength and leads to all sorts of selfish desires and ignoble to all the above.

What you want and what you really need is not necessarily the same thing. Passion and coercion are two different things.

In General, people work harder and more innovative if they are not forced, a very different picture where they are strictly told what to do.
