Every single day we see the very best in humanity. People overcoming the most extraordinary challenges, it boggles the mind what human beings can do for the good; for themselves and others.
But, I am going to tell you I am fed up with the ‘abuse of power’ that is going on. The people we entrust to oversee our structures, governments and corporations should know better and do right by the people they work for – us. They are servants to “we the people”, their employees, their citizens, their patients.
In Canada we have our Senators that should all be thrown out of office immediately. If any of our regular citizens behaved the way they have we would be in jail.
Now Fifa follows a long long list of people we shouldn’t trust, with anything.
Sadly I have found out in life that trusting family and extended family is not a good idea.
My journey over the last several years has been an amazing eye opener. I know when you have been left by your parents at a young age trust doesn’t come very easily to me. But I want to trust the doctors, lawyers, cops, government officials but I just don’t. There are a few I will give a pass to and believe they mean well. It’s just far too many who lose perspective and lose their way, at our expense.
I think that what it boils down to is this. Subconsciously I think I have a 3 strikes and you are out sort of deal going on in my head. We are all learning, doing our best, slogging through the muck and mire of life so we all deserve a chance to get it right. I am the least perfect person you will ever know but after 3 kicks at the can and I don’t kick it, I look for something else to do. Therefore, I am not too forgiving when people willfully, deliberately and knowingly rip us off by using their status to demean us even more.
If you haven’t learnt at some point you owe it to yourself to live up to your responsibilities and be honest and truthful and remove yourself. Stop taking advantage of people who can’t defend themselves. You know who you are. On my google+ page people are trying to con me into giving them money. That is why I don’t speak to anyone anymore. How sad is that.
I have been on the streets, I have starved, I have been alone but I have never taken something that did not belong to me. But sadly I know people who have.
You are so becoming aware of everyone who has forgotten to behave properly. I am on such a journey of discovery. Msybe when I eventually sit under the tree I would be enlightened and not dissapointed.
With great power comes great responsibility, but the sad truth is that people tend to forget the latter & they only cling to their power using it misusing it most of the time.
Your honesty and accountability are so refreshing. The scales are out of whack, and I couldn’t agree more. Power should not be synonymous with greed. Thank you.
I appreciate you! 🙂
As the saying goes, money corrupts, power corrupts. I believe that. People say that is naive, and yet, is it not true?
