Sooo.. I think the problem
is power. We want too much of it. We don’t get enough of it. Whatever it may
be. I think it is within our nature as human beings to seek positions of
authority or power. So actually the problem isn’t power itself but rather what
people do with it. But here’s the thing: it's not others that we should be
seeking power over, it’s ourselves.
The
moment that we seek power over others, we put ourselves at an unfortunate
disadvantage because we are trying to accomplish something that isn’t meant to
be done. I've watched too many people seek power over others because they don't know how to take control of their own lives. Human beings were never meant to dominate. They were meant to share,
to collaborate, and to learn and grow from each other. Power creates divides.
Power instills fear. People cannot prosper or thrive or be their best selves if
they are living in fear. If there are powerless. Look at the black man. Why else
do we see him angry? Why else do we see him distraught? As a criminal? Living
in fear destructs the soul. It paralyzes passion and it exhausts the human
spirit. And sometimes it can be inescapable. If we are overcome with fear, we
cannot create. We cannot love. We cannot live.
Peace & love,
