We are all seeking power, but to what end ?

" Human nature, when seeking power, wants either to play the victim or create victims of others.

Once we start feeling sorry for ourselves will soon find someone else to blame . accuse or attack- and with impunity. " Richard Rohr 

Much industry of men must of necessity be unproductive( we are always learning)
If we don't admit our failures, we will compound the amount of accumulated grief of incompetence that we bear. Humanity is dominated not by solutions but the tendency towards fear and hate because we really can't solve the deep problems we face personally and incompletely. 

If Richard is right many, instead of dropping their grief burden, spend time in public discourse pretending they are still solving problems when they are building like Boffin,a pile of ashes ;
--an attempt to burn the light or pretend to burn the light by burning down others lights???

Pretend problem solving (quickfix) is the pretense of our age .
"We are hell bent on Fixits , uncomfortable with struggle or with sadness" . 
We need to let go of trying so hard. Sunday is coming ..........when we should all rest.
