Big Man Syndrome.

Toots and the Maytals had that great song: "Big Monkey Man."

We all live with the "Big Man Syndrome." You know Big Man, with Big Ideas, and Big Ego rises to a position of Power & Influence. And how does he use his Power & Influence?

It is all so damn predictable. 

Big Man likes to flaunt his Power. He likes to wield his Power & Influence against his minions and the "little people." It seems the Powerful Big Man only feels Powerful when he is using it against those who work for him, or who elected him, or those who admire him.

Big Man ends up doing bad shit. Why? Because he can.

It's the same old sad story. Power Corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.  And really it cuts across the Human Spectrum. The Big Man can be any race or creed. And, sometimes the Big Man can be a Woman.

Wouldn't it be nice to find out that a successful, powerful, influential Human Being acted with kindness, grace, humility & good cheer? That is a story that just isn't told very often. It is all too rare. 

Fuck, people. We can do so much better...
