I agree with the bolded but perseverance and relentlessness are not the words I would use or agree with. I would replace those words with “ being fun” or “ being great at something”
There are many people who spend a lot of time controlling others and it works for them until they run into a higher sort of people who can’t be controlled. Imposing your will on someone involves getting very intimate with that persons life , their feelings , their things. And in the process of learning all this about someone, and in some ways you have to be a cold dood to look into all this and use that info to try and impose your will, you end up cornering yourself and throwing away part of your own soul.
There was a guy who tried to control my sister, he did everything and was very arrogant like all sociopaths are and so after all his plans failed and he wasted years on it he decided to come and kill my sister. He failed and is spending the next 20 years in prison.
Maybe he should’ve just done something he liked like a movie or a hobby instead of worrying all the time about being “alpha”stop at nothing impose your will guy.
