Dictatorship is a state of mind. An addiction-to-control that can consume anyone. It’s not about how you gain power (through bloodshed or ballots), but how you use it.

If you’re a parent, you need to watch this show: Adolescence (Netflix series).
Every scene holds a lesson, beautifully illustrating the subtle yet powerful ways children learn from us — what we do, what we don’t, the things we overlook, and the mistakes we unknowingly make while raising them.
