I don't understand why people aren't just upfront about what they want the other to do. "Move away!" How far? Some bit of trust should be involved eveb if the parties disagree on something. Otherwise the person they want to submit might as well just *ill themselves.

Do you have an example of a better quote? Not asking rhetorically, just curious to see a comparison to something that is a constant truth.

Edit:

After reading your post I imagined telling this quote to a POW or a person in a concentration camp. In modern day maybe this would be considered a "white (read as 1st world) privilege" quote.

Funny enough I had initially found it somewhat motivational. But it's clearly something an authoritarian could say to make someone submissive to their ways.

But maybe it's all semantics and requires proper context.
