"Nothing external to you has any power over you."
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) U.S. poet, essayist and lecturer.
We all know this is not so; all sorts of people have power over others, you and me included.
How did Mr. Emerson get this so wrong?
What he said is true, it's what he didn't say that completes the story.
No one or thing has any power over us other than what we give them.
Try to be a little more selective regarding when and to whom you give power over you.
