This is how you need to start seeing yourself from now on: You are a nation, not just a person. Other people are other nations. Your parents, siblings and those you love are neighbouring nations. If you have a good relationship with them, it’s great; if not, you both suffer. Your ‘self’ is the president of the nation. Your moral code and rules become your constitution. These rules come from knowing what causes harm to the nation. And the moral code ensures what lines you will never cross. Self-control is the security force that enforces the rules and moral codes in the constitution.
