It's intended 'focus of attention' has no say in the matter and is supposed to permit the egocentric & selfish mind to get its own way despite it not being the wishes of the focus of attention.
And, it doesn't appear that it is the first time that the egocentric & selfish mind has set its sight on a focus and adopted this ignorant passage. An observation here is that this behaviour is bordering on "obsessional" and the action is that of a stalker. My gripe concludes that this type of mind should have considered the consequences of their actions before embalking on their journey ... the 'focus of their attention' certainly didn't agree to their targetting.
