what it is.

 THE BURDEN OF AUTHORITY


We humans can no more do without authority than we can do without other human beings. But down here on the short end of the stick, where freedom depends on "benefits," the burden of authority weighs heavy.

Just think: if we were financially independent, we could each maintain our personal authority over our personal lives until the end of our days. But we're not. So we carry on.


"If you do happen to make it into the
office of that man upstairs, he is
going to pee down his leg."
