Peace vs Power & Authority

Need of Peace

The history of the world is full of stories of power and authority. But this is also true, the world has never remained in peace despite the control and domination across the globe. The entire world is divided into borders and boundaries showing the strength of structure, assets, and possessions. But finding real peace is a difficult agenda. The notion of "me & my" exists everywhere. The human race has remained fighting for its rights and authority.

It is hard to keep oneself alive in this world without the strength of fighting with enemies. The fear of encroachment of others in your life makes everyone aware of their own power. But the question raised whether the use of power and authority keeps people happy and gives inner peace, which they seek to be self-contented in their life. When one has power and authority, then the greed for more & more awakens. And in keeping with it, one has to be more bold and courageous and be active to dominate others and make them subordinate. No doubt, the person will have more outrageous steps to establish their kingdom.

This is a matter to think about in order to get extra, what else has to be lost to be. The answer is peace. The people actually need power and authority when they try to hold and capture other’s assets or want to control structures on their own terms and conditions. The lesson of power and authority teaches the person to be bold, brave, stronger, and dominating and makes them come out of their comfort zone to face adversities. However, when a person has nothing to lose, it has nothing to do with power and authority. He will remain in peace and stability without worrying about assets, and he will never lose his mind and soul over trivial things.

It is mandatory to pay the price of everything on this earth, one has to lose one thing in order to get another thing. The sense of showing power and authority inculcates the psychological traits of keeping them above the others, where the real thread of trust and friendship breaks with others. And the traits of general compassion and kindness diminished, making the person ruthless and cruel towards others that definitely steal the person’s inner peace.

The various tales of kings and kingdoms of the world from history give testimonies of powerful people having to lose their lives, peace, and comfort in pursuit of having more possessions. This is applied in every area of life. Performing tasks with mutual adaptation give peace with safety and security by wards of the fear of being dominated by others and keep everyone calmer by enhancing their inner strength.

The war between peace vs power and authority always wins, with peace in the end. At the whim of power and authority, when we lose so much of our life, we learn to get the lesson of “live and let live.” The moral is, power and authority should be used in your own defense and security, not for controlling others that can be challenging for you as well as others. Greed and gluttony surely bring people to the stage of self-pity, where they only remain with the repentance to think over again.

When the countries try to show their power to each other, the world will come to the verge of war, destruction, and violence, leaving no space for peace. Life is short, and we all want to enjoy it on our own terms, and our freedom is the main pursuit of anything else. So the notion of controlling and dominating others will surely harm everyone with their own human right to live on this earth. So the giving place for everyone is the criteria to live a happy, content, and peaceful life.
