(More than that, I guess, but two I'll "blog.")
1. In life, there are big, major items, and small details, both of which require decisions.
While a person would, off the top of one's head, assume that the big choices and decisions would take large amounts of a person's focus and consideration while smaller details of life would consume smaller amounts of attention -- it hit me today that it's possibly the other way around:
it could be argued, that the decisions and choices of a huge nature in our lives consume small amounts of time and attention while, weirdly, the smaller issues get more attention, effort, and focus.
(This could be because the big stuff evolves naturally from circumstance and opportunity, while we have more control over the small items so we luxuriate in options when it comes to which color sweater or which brand of bicycle to buy. --
Is it a case of -- God makes the big decisions but leaves the lipstick shade to us?)
2. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
A quote most of us have heard.
Experience working in politics made me wonder if in many cases it's a corrupt person seeking power who runs for office in the first place.
So -- perhaps it's the other way around:
instead of "power corrupts" the truth may be:
Corrupt persons seek power.
