If what I want to do is impose my will on others, you say it's not allowed, thus imposing your will on me.

You are absolutely correct, everybody can do whatever they are able to do, even if it's wrong or unjust. That is exactly why the world we live in is the way it is.
If that's what people want, then that's fine with me. The ideas I'm talking about are only for those who do not want wars, or violence, or sickness, or having to live afraid of getting hurt in any of the many ways people get hurt (the nightly news has plenty of examples), or the ones who do not like being exploited by others, or the ones who generally want peace and a happy life.
The reason for sharing these ideas with the group of people described above is to #1 help them realize they are not getting what they want by living the way they are living and #2 give them a hint as to why they are not getting what they want and what to change to make their predicament change.
