Proof The Bible Is True

Thankfully, generally speaking and for the most part, we men have simple dreams. We dream of waking up next to someone we love every morning, watching our kids grow up healthy, and balanced enough to make the right decisions on their own, paying off the mortgage, and still being able to climb a flight of stairs at fifty.

We do not dream of conquest and power, we do not dream of control and ruling with an iron fist, our dreams are simple, and that’s the way we like it.

No, I do not subscribe to Thoreau’s musing that most men live lives of quiet desperation. I think it just looks that way to someone whose aspirations are greater than their abilities. Most men don’t dream of power. Most men don’t dream of stardom, or influence, or sway, but then again, some do.

It’s the ones that dream of power that should never get it. It’s the ones that dream of control that should never be in a position to make decisions on behalf of others because the acquisition of a position of power always comes at a price. Those who forfeited family, friendships, love, and even their integrity in their quest for power, feel entitled to wield it with maximum force once they attain it.
