Waiting on Tables
If anyone asks you to make them rich and powerful say No or ask for help. They may also ask for growth or economic miracles, want to be like someone else. We cannot do it. It comes at a price. The price is too high. They want a share in our knowledge and like anything else there is a market for it. It has lasting value. Others may also become indignant at the request. Justifiably so! Top executives give themselves pay rises above inflation and massive bonuses and their wages stay the same while others are laid off, capitalists run sweatshops in developing countries and at home people still work for poor pay in poor conditions. They have the raw power to do it. How much do they want? Those with the power should in fact be putting it at the service of all. Expert power should not be abused or misused. It would be better used to serve those who need it most, like setting captives free, liberating those in psychological slavery. The efforts of one 'expert' person may do more to transform lives than many people with power and wealth cannot do together.
