RE: When Power Is Abused
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Exactly. The loudest abusers tend not to be the ones in political office. They are the class rep demanding “contributions” nobody agreed to, the community leader doling out jobs to their cousins, the department head playing favorites. Power intoxicates at all levels. The difference is that when a class rep abuses power, you can vote him/her out. When a politician does it, you wait for four years. That’s why accountability starts at the bottom, because if we normalize the small abuses, we’re training ourselves to accept the big ones. This is something we see everyplace, be it our schools or our workplaces. The real question is why we let it happen.

Very important and valid points made. I like how you expounded on how some of the mentioned positions of power are abused by those in those positions. Yes, accountability is necessary and should start from the bottom up. Because we can deal with these more easily and quickly, unlike the political positions of power, which should nonetheless be held to account and corrected.
An important question. We didn't see any big deal about it, and now it's a cancer we're hardly finding a cure for. But then, we should now do what's right and necessary to stop it.
Thank you for stopping by and for your wonderful comment.
