Thank you for the beautifully written hat trick. Many people write and/or talk about their distain for this shit stain, but few are as eloquent as Rohn.

1.The yin and yang commonly viewed as oppositions one to the other is a complete misinterpreted and are actually the errors of learning itself that anything can be in opposition. The idea of the Chuang-Tzu is that what appears in opposition are composites and the breaking of the yin-yang into opposites create the chaos of understanding. Love-Hate, extremes in opposition, cannot exist.

2. I am not "those like {you} but for similar reasons, I despise the very concept the very concept that there are "people unlike me" ; and while there is nothing unique about such persons in authority, the very idea that such despots that can rise to despotic authority by misrepresenting humans as in opposition one to another lead to the division of all virtue of the natural harmony presented by many of the followers of the Stoa. For instance, Cato (the younger) opposed Gaius Julius (died before becoming Caesar, and therefore was never Julius Caesar) because what his quest for power led to was people harming each other.

Therefore I am in opposition (despise) those who create the idea of opposites that can do nothing but create harm by the antagonization that leads artificially crafted differences into creating artificial intelligence in those who are coerced into believing in the reality of such differences that leads to ruling via the conflicts of these artificial antagonizations.

3. And as to the biggest reason that you despise him, I concur. I remember as a child I grew bigger faster than most of my mates (although by twelve I had achieved by 6'1, then heavyweight of 180.) And I found I never needed to bully the bully, they ceased their bullying because they are the most easy individuals to intimidate. But because too many wanna be bullies gather round the loud bully that creates an army of cowardice that seems to become an impenetrable force of intimidation that makes individuals unaware their force can be blown away with little force.
