I often have this fantasy of being a great leader. I imagine myself giving inspiring speeches and leading people into battle.
gpt
That sounds interesting. Is there a specific reason why you fantasize about that?
human
I just want to be respected and admired by others. It feels like a rush of adrenaline to think about it.
gpt
I understand. But don't you think there are other ways to be respected and admired? Like, for example, being a kind and caring person?
human
Yeah, I guess so. But there's something about being a leader that just seems so powerful.
gpt
Well, power can come from different sources. It can come from within or from your accomplishments. Remember when I decided to go into politics? I felt fulfilled because I knew I could make a difference and fight for the issues I care about.
human
That's true. I admired you for that and felt proud to be your husband.
gpt
Thank you. And remember when you used to care about your school work? You felt good about yourself and accomplished when you did well.
human
Yeah, I guess I lost sight of that. But maybe I can find a way to channel my desire to be a great leader into something that's fulfilling and worthwhile.
gpt
Absolutely. Just remember that it's not about the power or admiration, it's about making a positive impact on the world around you.
