Power: With Power Comes Responsibility

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

In today's modern social reality small groups of people are making vast changes. Changes that are questionable as to benefit and value to the social fabric of our culture. I say this as you can imagine because those changes tend to benefit the few rather than the many. Regardless, this is a telling trait of modern social reality in that, as you already know, we the people can make a difference even when few or even singularly. 

The truth is we the people have always had the power and just didn't know it and now that we are starting to come to that realization we are exercising that muscle. The exercises are just wrong. If you apply the wrong tools and concepts to a process it may be successful and that will often, as you can imagine, begin to fail and fail terribly to our social detriment. 

Now, is the time to stand up as individuals and groups for the betterment of social reality and not some personal wants and needs that benefit the few or the individual except in narrow circumstances that don't effect the social reality of our culture and benefit us as individuals. There is a difference and what happens when you fail to realize and differentiate that is how we end up in a fear-based knee jerk reactive state of mind...not good.

To properly utilize our strength as people both individual and as a collective we need to apply those skills in a manner that benefits not just the individual, we must benefit the collective and that social reality of the entire culture. After all, as you know, the culture and social fabric thereof is how we, as a culture, survive because without the culture and the social reality of it, we will fade into nothingness much like the ancient great cultures and social collectives of the past like the Greek's and the Roman's.

To achieve greatness and to exercise power justly, morally and spiritually we as a collective, individual and society must rein in our emotional knee-jerk reactive selves and achieve a tool box of things that will do what we truly need as a society and culture, not what we think we “WANT!” As one professional expert said, “we tend to confuse our wants with our actual needs!”
