That blew my mind right at the start. All I could say was, "I'm not leading anyone." But Mel insisted that I was. I had to be ambitious. That's why I had to go. Cuz as Mel told me, from that point on if "I even needed to blow my nose I had to ask him which side first." That's how ambition is dealt with in the LRC; make everyone kowtow.

This experience of awareness strikes me as any disagreement with an elder/worker equates to ambition. The only way to go on is bite your tongue from express any opinion different from brothers maximum.
