A lesson learnt from my principal

Power often misleads. That is why it is said that POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY. A man in power generally tends to coerce others by applying his superiority. And at times his egotistic attitude oppresses others. The human side of life is ruthlessly ignored and he becomes more and more tyranical day by day. Even great leaders like Indira Gandhi had fallen into the trap of such inconsideration which power usually accompanies with it. Power hardens the heart and makes the man insensitive. But great are those men, who behave like men, irrespective of being in power and never use power as punitive measures. My principal is a man who shares that great quality. He never uses his power to inflict pain upon anyone. He bestows optimum liberty to everyone. He is non- interfering but few people understand this greatness. I hope this example should be ever alive in my mind & guide me never to use power against anyone. People in higher position should be compassionate enough to alleviate the pains of their subordinates. Everybody is facing a hard battle in life, so the ointment of compassion and love is essential to all relationships for lessening the frictions of the modern life.
