Not doing a thing at all and doing it at the point of force are same things. If what you do affirms your will power, it involves great learning, an intense understanding of both it's ugly and beauty aspects. Will power gives you the authentic meaning of your action.
On the contrary, forcing something on you is synonymous to fear and fear is a lie, it is betrayal, fear is perfidious and imperfect, it is complete darkness where the utmost reality walks hidden. Fear is useless, purposeless, painless and characterless.
