The act of eating is a service.

If light is information, and radiating light is just radiating information, the amount of light being connected to the amount of compassion coupled with knowledge, how does that become "control"?

Well... if only certain sources of light/information are radiated while other sources are willfully held back (ie we will only promote thoughts and ideas which support our agenda, while ignoring, limiting, or loudly squawking over, those viewpoints which contradict our agenda), then that would constitute manipulation- which is a form of control.

If we freely shared all available sources of light/information on a topic, and then encouraged our audience to weigh the entire body of information against their own inner guidance, then that wouldn't be control.

For example, if we were to a priori define "compassion" in a specific way, so as to preemptively exclude different understandings of "compassion", that would be control. If we encouraged others to seek compassion on their own terms and timeline, and then trusted that they would be eventually led to what we believe it means (because of course we are right about it ), that wouldn't be control.

This was so well put I just wanted to acknowledge it. Thanks Tenet!
