Power And Authority
And I have heard it said that power and authority breeds corruption.
And I have seen it that this statement could be true; many times, many
ways, many places, many organizations, many groups, many people and
many individuals. And though the names may change, the story is always
the same, power and authority breeds corruption. And there is usually
some sort of money involved that breeds this corruption. And there is
usually pen and paper involved whose power is the sword in corruption.
And what exactly is corruption, and power and authority for what? And
is it bureaucracies, cooked books, accounting schemes, money that
disappears and more things gone astray that are passing me at the
moment. And again, does Wikipedia have an entry for this. What would
that Internet bible dictionary have to say about this. And in other
thoughts, for what reason does the word lawyer sound like liar, or does
it. And for some reason that Bible verse comes to mind again when I
think of this phrase. "For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1 Timothy 6:10
