Friends should support, not dictate, the course of a nation from "summary" of Friends Not Masters by Mohammad Ayub Khan
It is imperative for friends to understand their role when it comes to influencing the path a nation takes. While support is crucial, dictation is not. Friends should be there to provide guidance, assistance, and encouragement, but they should not impose their will on the nation. When friends start dictating the course of a nation, it can lead to interference in internal affairs and a loss of sovereignty. Nations have the right to make decisions based on their own best interests, and external influences should not infringe upon this right. Support from friends should be based on mutual respect and understanding. It should involve constructive dialogue, collaboration, and cooperation. Friends can offer valuable insights and perspectives, but the ultimate decision-making power should rest with the nation itself. Dictating the course of a nation can create dependencies and undermine national pride and self-reliance. It is important for nations to assert their independence and sovereignty, even in the face of well-meaning advice from friends.- Friends should aim to empower nations to make informed decisions and chart their own path to progress and development. By offering support rather than dictation, friends can strengthen relationships based on mutual trust, respect, and cooperation.
