I would never push someone beyond a point further than they were willing to go themselves. I’m just guiding here, showing the path, helping a long–like a trainer. If someone decided they wanted to stop, all it would take is a simple no, and we’d be done. They’re in control here–that’s the thing. They’re doing this to themselves, I’m not forcing them to do anything. My vision, sure, but their consent.
Let’s say you found a pig to influence in real life. The pig reluctantly accepted all the changes under your guidance, some more than others but let the corruption take hold. Eventually, your side project had a run in with reality. Seconds thoughts clashing with desires, remorse kicking in, pleading ensues to let it revert back to its previous life, a second chance. What would be your reaction? Would you feel any remorse, and help it go back? Feed on it and drive it deeper? Nothing?
