Please Use Other Door

It’s obvious. You want me to use the other door. I can tell because this one is locked. Or maybe it’s not locked, but you still want me to use the other one. You don’t say why. It’s not a request. You expect me to obey, to automatically follow your directions. It’s not like it’s a big deal for me to use the door you want me to use. I can still get where I’m going. I admit I’d rather choose for myself. I am curious about why it’s so important to you to decide which thresholds I should be allowed to cross. Like I said, it’s no biggie for me to use this door. Unless…unless you’re screwing with me. Unless you don’t actually have a reason for wanting me to use this particular door. Unless you simply want to control what I do. If that’s the case, I’m going my own way.
