How We Would Prefer Other People To Be
A Mathematics of (the impossibility of) controlling the behavior of others

“Live neither in the entanglements of outer things
Nor in ideas or feelings of emptiness.”
— Hsin Hsin Ming
Outer things have an inner nature
We know not whereof
We do not have direct Awareness
Of the Awareness of other people
Not having Awareness of it
We cannot suppose ourselves in control of it
Yet its outer aspect
Seems to our Awareness
Wanting of control.
