Another's Moccassins

The presence of authority and power can have strange effects. Those under that authority find it easy to criticize, complain, and try to second guess those to whom they have to submit. And those in authority over others can sometimes forget what it was like to be on the receiving end. Those both can happen due to our human nature, and our desire to be right. 'Tis a slippery slope. What is needed is a spirit of cooperation, understanding, and an acceptance of whatever position in which we find ourselves. If mutual respect and love prevail, and a healthy sense of the common good is promoted, then whatever endeavor is undertaken will benefit. Be content with your status. Be supportive of each other. Be empathetic across the authoritarian line. Most of all, enjoy what comes. Do your best to accomplish the goals set. In your heart, keep each other lifted up. Who knows when you might find yourself on the other side?
