History’s tale of efforts
Thursday, March 20, 2014
History is filled with dictators who ruled with an iron fist, bringing untold suffering to their subjects. Of course, that is not true of all rulers. Some may have the best intentions for their fellowmen. However, once they are in power, they often find that their efforts are frustrated by infighting and power struggles. Or they may abuse their power for personal gain. “History is a tale of efforts that failed, of aspirations that weren’t realized”, said Henry Kissinger.
We are humans; imperfect humans lack the ability, the necessary wisdom and foresight to manage all their own affairs successfully. If people cannot direct their own steps, how can they direct other’s steps? Human rulers do not have the ability to eliminate problems. In fact, more often than not, bad government or ruling is the cause of a nation’s problem.
