Power

In Canada, not yet the fifty-first American state, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lost his wife and is about to lose his Liberal Party backing and leadership. The question I ask, and have continually asked, is this: “Is power really worth it?” Many people constantly strive to acquire more and more power and money, but in the end, you cannot take any of it with you. You may well have inflicted pain and suffering on many others, as well, as you seek to gain and maintain your power and money.

As you sacrifice everything, including integrity and empathy; deep down, what does your heart and soul really say to you? You bury it, but, we all do have feelings, even sociopaths. One hundred years from now, who will really remember who you were? People cannot remember President’s from thirty-five years ago. No one will care who you were, possibly including your own family. And what about the rest of eternity? Is power and money really worth it?
