Yush said that Papa had a “wartime personality.” Yush thought this was a good thing to have, particularly when leading a battle, as someone who needed to make tough decisions for the betterment of the group. I agreed with Yush in theory, but I was also confused. “There’s no war,” I said to Yush. “What battle is Papa fighting?” The problem with that kind of a personality, I said, was that when everything was peaceful, one had to create wars to feel useful or important.
