About Jim
Question 20: "I'm a political person who's angry about the way our nation's leaders behave. They seem so arrogant about power. What would you say to them?"
Kiro:
When leaders have great power
it is wise for them to be humble and show restraint.
Humility and restraint correct excesses of power
so it serves life rather than detroys it.
Power that is used without restraint will create envy and fear,
which leads to hatred and active resistance.
Power that is used with humility and restraint
will create respect and security.
When people feel respectful and secure,
they will honor their leaders rather than oppose them.
With support rather than resistance, leaders can make
their good deeds as big as their great power.
When good deeds and power are in balance,
nation will be in balance.
When nation is in balance,
harmony and prosperity will follow.
