Our boys enjoy the occasional “what if” game. The other day our older son asked, “what if you could *only* move when someone told you to move?!”
His brother then began to “control” his movements with his speech. And if his brother didn’t tell him to move, then he was stuck.
If we are attached to the approval of others, our actions are bound in a similar way. We are subject to either manipulation or paralysis.
Far better to root in something real.
