Service is a gift given from the spine. Subservience is a tax paid from the gut.
Research has shown that subservience can be linked to a range of negative psychological outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Furthermore, subservience can also lead to a loss of personal identity and autonomy, as individuals may feel forced to conform to the expectations and demands of the dominant party. Subservience
- Healthy: Needs are negotiated.
