You don’t
know the true color of people until they get power at their disposal. In
whatever you do in life, always remember that beauty fades, Power fails, position
expires and even the value of money fluctuates. Never look down on people
because no condition is permanent. Position is not only the place of power;
your beauty can be your power, your money can be your power, your education can
be your power and knowledge can be your own power. But how do you use this
power in dealing with people? Has the power consumed you to the extent that you
forget that no forever-nothing last forever?
Once you are
no longer in that position then honor is gone. Eventually, they would treat you
the same way you've treated them.
You think
you would remain in that position forever?
You think
what goes up doesn’t come down?
You think
the power can
buy you an immortal life?
You think
you are indomitable?
I don’t know
what goes into people’s head that makes them forget their root whenever they
attain a seat of power. I don’t know why
people forget who they were whenever they get there. But three things I’m sure
would be the fate of power.
I.
It
is either you drop the power reluctantly or
II.
It
is taken from you forcefully or
III.
You
die while on power
Money, Fame,
Beauty, Position, Age or whatever you've been privileged to have shouldn't make
you to look down at others. Life is full of diversity; we cannot always have
exactly the same thing in life. Because someone is not as good as you are in
what you do doesn't mean they can't be better than you in something else. No
matter how proud a peacock is because of its feathers, it can never fly as high
as a vulture which is usually referred to as an unattractive bird. We are meant
to complement each other and not compete with each other.
In short, sooner or later, you would leave the seat of power that you have been grabbing to your
bosom greedily. I had the opportunity to watch the transition of power from one
president to another, after the completion of their tenure. I saw how power
changes within a twinkle of an eye. I saw how followers’ attention switched
from one leader to another within a short moment.
You are
absolutely missing it if you are in a position today and you keep maltreating
your followers. You are making a life mistake if you are in a position today
and you keep rubbishing your root while polishing others that didn’t endure
with you when it was thick and thin. You are in a position today, tender mercy
and good justice are never your accomplice? What a path to destruction you are
treading. You are in a position today, pride and no-respect for humanity are
your clothes? The truth is you are on the course to fall.
