War

For years, people have killed each other, countries have colonized small countries

and the only reason is the want for more power...

You see, power gives us so much...

When we get a position, we thought we have power,

By telling lies about a person, you thought you have power,

By knowing that a person loves you so much, you thought you have power...

By not assuring that person of your love or feelings for him/her, you thought you have power...

I believe otherwise...

How can someone who only rises above anyone through stepping on people's toes have power?

Are you aware that there are persons who prefer the hard way? the narrow road?

Are you aware that when you step on people's toes, they might belong to a feet that will step on your face?

How can telling lies about the person you dislike give you power?

Don't you know that "all that goes around, comes around?"

Don't you know that lies are boomerangs that goes back to the source?

By knowing that you are loved, yet you withhold your true feelings

in an effort to gain more leverage against that person, you thought you had power...

tsk.tsk.tsk...

Don't you know that love is also an emotion? And emotion has an ever changing state,

capable of depleting and increasing, depending on your nurturance?

Don't you know that when someone expresses their love for you,

don't you know that they are passing the burden to you?

It is difficult to restrain an ever powerful emotion

and when someone tells you of their romantic feelings for you,

they are getting much power against you. How?

One example, when you see someone wearing a white skirt,

with a blood stain indicating she had menstruation,

you are so uncomfortable, that you have to tell her, right? (if you are a good person, you will not be comfortable letting that person walk and be seen by others with that stain on her skirt)

Notice how confused she gets when you finally tell her of that stain...

When you are puzzled by someone's sweetness and caring,

and you confronted that person with such actions,

notice how uncomfortable he/she became?

When you are in a position to kick people's butt,

and abuse that power, it felt good for a time...

Would you still be comfortable when it comes to your knowledge

that the person you butt-kicked was related to your boss?

Hmmm... I don't want to be in your shoes...

Positions...Promotions...

According to Peter Drucker: "People get promoted on the level of their incompetence."

You are so good in doing the routine work you do, you got noticed

and you got promoted to a job that is entirely different from what you are used to.

And you learn... - that is the proper promotion...

I do not desire to get promoted just because I "know" someone...

I am very much capable of climbing my own ladder

and wait for my turn...

If you get intimidated with people who do their work well, pity for you.

They are not putting out their best to get promoted, they are conquering themselves!

(AND YES, THEY DON'T WANT YOUR POSITION.... THEY CAN AND VERY MUCH ABLE, MORE THAN YOU ARE AND MORE THAN YOU KNOW, GET THAT WITHOUT SNATCHING IT FROM YOU --- and you know that)

Why do you get intimidated then? Why do you worry?

Because at the end of the day, when you look at yourself in the mirror,

you know that you don't deserve the immediate superior that you are...

You know that the person you dislike so much is better than you...

and when you cannot accept that,

like a country that has a culture of envy,

you will start a war...

A war that ultimately, robs you of everything...power, time and integrity.

Don't worry, you will have to start all over again, while your enemy

will stand up all over again, dust herself/himself

and will still prove to be better than you for you must know...

"YOU CAN NEVER, EVER, PUT A GOOD MAN, DOWN."
