If I were to act like a congressman or senator from Washington, D.C. in my daily affairs, in no time at all I would lose all credibility with my friends and neighbors, and not have the authority to take out a car loan.
If, by some strange occurrence, I started tweeting my passing thoughts and fancies to my acquaintances in the middle of the night, I do believe that out of great love and concern, one of them would step in and make sure I was still mentally stable.
If I were in charge of an organization that had thousands of complaints about my employees molesting small children, and my response to that quandary was to move these employees to other locations and quietly pay off the offended—well, in no time at all I’d be run out of my town on a rail.
As a child I was taught that the greater the responsibility, the greater the expectation.
There isn’t a person on welfare in America who isn’t forced to be more accountable than our leaders.
I know some of my friends, and even my loved ones, are tempted to imitate the madness. Matter of fact, you can focus on a moment of history when King George III was ruling in England and seemed to have lost his reasoning, and realize that because no one could do anything with him, there was an American Revolution, which stirred a French Revolution complete with guillotines, which culminated with the tyranny of Napoleon.
ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
For some reason we portray that we’re on a party boat in the middle of the lake with an endless supply of beer and pretzels, with no intention of ever coming to the shoreline again to sober up.
- I cannot join because I’m a grown-up.
- I will not join because it looks boring and stupid.
- And I will choose another path because I would like to be happy and keep on being successful.
If you understand what I’m talking about, you might want to consider these three things:
- You’re going to need to do what you say, so don’t say so damn much.
- You can’t judge people, so don’t watch so much.
- And it will be necessary to change with the spirit of the times, so for God’s sake, don’t settle for so little.
