It Is Time To Re-Write The Old Adage
By Arjuna Seneviratne -August 6, 2013 |
Arjuna Seneviratne
Fear corrupts, absolute fear corrupts absolutely…Power humbles, absolute power humbles absolutely
The great spiritual leaders of the world lived lives of piety and engaged the world with clarity, compassion and a desire to succor those in pain. Their lives were epitomized by a complete lack of fear and a confidence in the belief that what they thought, said and did was not only right but mutually consistent. They wielded (and still wield) an enormous power to inspire human effort and give people confidence in themselves and their fellow beings. The same can be said albeit to a lesser degree of the Lincolns, Kings, Ghandis and Mandelas of this world. They never sought power, yet, their lack of fear and their compassion vested power in them and that power made them ever humbler, ever more compassionate.
