Authority means to have the power or
right to give orders, to make decisions and to enforce rules of order. This is
truly a treasure of great importance for it has the power to create or destroy depending
upon ones moral and ethical underpinning.
Orders, decisions and rules of
conduct based upon good and sound morals and ethics is the basis of a
prosperous society.
We all have some level of authority.
Mostly it is the authority we have over our own conduct; our perception and attitudes. How we decide and enforce our conduct runs
counter to our moral and ethical point of view.
So although we often think of authority as someone with great power it
is a treasure we all share. How we use
it determines whether we prosper or not.
Authority means the power to make and
implement rules of order. Whether it is
the head of a household or the head of a nation rules must be followed. Leaders
must lead and people must follow proper modes of conduct if any group small or large
is to prosper. The problems happen when authority and power is misused because of
greed, deceit, anger and pride. The four great passions will lead to destruction
if not tethered by ethical and moral codes of conduct. Never forget that life
has a perfect accounting system. Nothing goes unbalanced or unnoticed. The laws
of karma state that for every cause there will be an effect. Life becomes what life does.
Authority brings with it a great
responsibility. Someone of great authority is often known as an expert and
therefore holds great knowledge. This knowledge often grants power, prestige
and position. Authority also means to
have the legal and formal rights to give orders and make decisions. How we use
this authority determines whether a person, family, group or society prospers
or not.
Just remember, we all have the treasure
of authority. Every day we make decisions and enforce rules of order. How we
use this treasure determines whether we prosper or not. The moral duty of anyone in a place of power and
authority is to make the world a better place by making those who they have
power and authority over, healthy, happy and safe. Their happiness and welfare then
becomes the authoritarian’s happiness and welfare. When this happens everyone
prospers. Authority
is truly a great treasure. Use it wisely.
