There's nothing wrong with caution or fear, it doesn't make someone weak. What does is the person who throws caution to the wind, it takes a balance to be powerful. If I take you at your word, you're no stronger for being separated from all of the aspects you deem weak.

Tell me, out of curiosity, what is it you deserve that you feel you need to take? Money? More short-sighted power?

Respect. All of these people are ants, compared to me. This isn't my city - but I'll take it and make it mine. I have that kind of power, and since there isn't a guardian here, it means that this place is ripe for the picking.

Don't you see what you're missing here, though? If these people are ants, why protect them at all? You need compassion as well as power and fear of that power or else it'll consume you while you're not looking.

Respect through kindness and strength, not through fear and, if you are Otoha, I know you know that.

But if you don't and you aren't, I won't let you take another step and hurt anyone simply because you see them as below you.

I have to protect them - because it's my job. If I can't control my own soul, I'll control everything else. And I am him. Don't you dare say I'm not.
