Don't we all! Face it, it just will not happen. We all want a warm bed, and we all appreciate a kind word, but who really thinks they can handle unlimited power? Life is hard work, mentally and physically. Balance is the key to continued energy.

Mary Parker Follett (3 September 1868 – 18 December 1933) was an American social worker, management consultant and pioneer in the fields of organizational theory and organizational behavior. She said, "There are three ways of dealing with difference: domination, compromise, and integration. By domination only one side gets what it wants; by compromise neither side gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by which both sides may get what they wish."

It is unfortunate that our government does not use integration to move our country forward. A dominate party congress does not benefit anyone, where the new laws lead to more government control. Where are the real checks and balances? Why does one party feel that government should control our lives instead of allowing us the decision to design our own lives according to the original intent of the Constitution? Do you know the difference between a Republic and a Democracy? The United States of America is a Republic! Our current dominate party has set the path towards a democracy - the downfall of a great nation.

Henry Clay, Sr. (April 12, 1777 – June 29, 1852), was a nineteenth-century American statesman and orator who represented Kentucky in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, where he served as Speaker. He also served as Secretary of State from 1825 to 1829. He said, "The arts of power and its minions are the same in all countries and in all ages. It marks its victim; denounces it; and excites the public odium and the public hatred, to conceal its own abuses and encroachments."

Oh my, so apply stated and so true of our two party system and seemingly getting worse as time goes on. Our current leaders are taking this Republic down a road to self destruction while blaming each other for the demise. It is time to remove the cancer in Congress and replace it with moral common sense and limit government's control over our daily lives. Less government, more freedom of choice!

Carl Gustav Jung (26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology (also known as Jungian psychology) said, "Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."

What say you? When you analyze your own personality, do you find that you are predominately approaching life and relationships from the side of love or using your power to control others? Balance is key as with all things in life.

Stewart Lee Udall (January 31, 1920 – March 20, 2010[1]) was an American politician. He served as Secretary of the Interior from 1961 to 1969, under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He said, "We have, I fear, confused power with greatness."

Bringing Meaning To Madness

Having power does not necessarily mean that one has the wisdom and that quality of greatness that we hope comes with those we have entrusted to provide leadership because of their charisma. Our current leader is an excellent orator, but he lacks wisdom, and his arrogance is an insult to the American people. I do believe the above quote apply fits.

Stephen Vincent Benét (July 22, 1898 – March 13, 1943) was an American author, poet, short story writer, and novelist said, "We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom."

Bringing Meaning To Madness

We all have opinions whether we share them or not. From my point of view, I truly believe that our current leaders in Congress lack wisdom, yet their power of position leads them to believe they have wisdom, more wisdom than the majority of people they are supposed to represent. They falsely believe they can make better decisions on our behalf. Do you really think they are right? If not, let your voice be heard!

Freda Adler, currently a Distinguished Professor in Criminal Justice at Rutgers University said, "Stripped of ethical rationalizations and philosophical pretensions, a crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit."

Bringing Meaning To Madness

Take the 2nd Amendment as an example. There are those in Washington who are doing there best to prohibit the use of all fire arms. They want to use their power to prohibit our ability to protect ourselves; thus they are contributing to a crime against the citizens of this United States by hiding new legislation in current bills to be passed by congress. Deception at the highest level is a crime of evil.
