Being just means upholding the law. Being a leader means your word is law.
===Brave and
A brave man chooses fearlessly. A confident man does not doubt his choices.
===Loving and Obedient: ''Affinity''===
Outer Pairs:
*Boundary<->Law
*Law<->
*
*Affinity<->Improvement
*Improvement<->Desire
*Affinity<->Trust
The key to relating the Attributes and the Surges is the concept of balance. Of all the Attribute pairs, there are five that can be seen as balancing pairs, pairs of concepts that can both complement and clash with each other. These are the four Diagonal Inner pairs (Boundary<->Desire, Law<->Truth,
===Boundary with Desire: ''Adhesion''===
===Law with Truth: ''Gravitation''===
When a leader's laws are believed to be based on truth, people will tend to gravitate towards following him. On Roshar, the soul of a physical object gravitates towards whatever it truly thinks it has to follow, which is usually whatever has the strongest spiritual presence in its vicinity (i.e. Roshar itself)
===
Having a choice with directions implies a separation of paths, where a group that was once united may become divided. It is therefore a source of division.
===Affinity with Trust: ''
For two people in a relationship (whether romantic, political, etc.), the more they trust each other, the less likely they will part ways.
===Improvement with Contentment: ''Progression''===
===Truth with Law: ''Transformation''===
The truths that have the force of law are those that can enact change. On Roshar, the soul of an object can desire to change, but this is a truth that the object's soul usually cannot enforce
===Direction with
The direction you choose is where you want yourself or something else to move towards. This is the direction of transportation.
===Trust with Affinity: ''Cohesion''===
===Contentment with Improvement: ''Tension''===
If you try to improve someone who is already content, you might be able to do it, but you will still experience some resistance to change, a tension, no matter how small
