With great power comes great irresponsibility

With great power comes great irresponsibility
The power to do as you please,
Running towards the track of doing as it serves your good.
I don't want power and I don't want to be entrusted to lead.
I'd rather serve because that will lead me to see what needs to be led and how it needs to be led and what needs guidance to the mainstream path of good governance.

With great power comes great irresponsibility
The powerful gets enthroned high up, and that is not leadership, how do you lead people that you are so far away from.
With great power, no wait, even little power given with a plastic teaspoon, gives one the arrogance to act with some not understandable pride and aloofness.
The ungovernable power of a system with loopholes leads to untrustworthiness by people on the ground.
The people often lose hope on leadership that is gracing the seat in the skyline and doesn't mind its people.

With great power comes great irresponsibility
Even when you were once a good servant,
Somehow the danger of being given power gets you to also slowly decay in the corrupt path of undermining the system of good governance and great leadership,
Unless if you were once part of the majority, once ruled by the minority leadership rooted at the throne that is placed high above the clouds, you'd know how frustrating poor leadership feels like.

Distant leadership is where there is too much air that deafens the ears of leaders from hearing the heart piercing screams of people on the ground and;
Too much air that blurs their eyes from seeing what struggle the poor paupers are enduring on level ground.
That I tell you is a demonstration of the abuse of power;
Not caring for the people you are leading.

Hence, with great power comes great irresponsibility.
Power can be an enemy, because it influences a person to think that they can get away with mischievous and ungovernable behaviour.
To those that power is bestowed upon, let there be caution in exercising it.
Good people with great minds seek good advices
Especially on matters that are too great to be handled single handedly
No matter being a king, president or CEO, rule with power and dont  let power control you.

Life without a best friend

I grew up without a friend
A best friend would then be a luxury
Not even a simple colleague or a church mate
Has come close to become a friend

Is it because I am difficult to get used to or undeserving of friendship
Do I come across as too withdrawn and selfish
Is it because I am tall and big or
Is it just because I don't make an effort to be in the mix of things

Does having reliable friends mean that you are mentally attractive and easily approachable or
Does it mean you hold great conversations or
Does it mean you dress well or have a rare talent or
Does it mean you are more generous and always available even at impossible times?
I wonder, I constantly wonder

I wonder what being and having good friends looks and feels like
Not for my sake but
I need to share with the shy younger me-like persons, unfortunate souls

A life without a friend is difficult, too hard to cope
Having no one to share conversations with,
To share those dear life experiences, those misfortunes and those other moments you can't talk with your self about after prayer, is depressing.
Most days are sad and get by very slow and these sad emotions feel like physical pain.
