There was one time in my life when I completely pulled off a costume.
I dressed in a police uniform and addressed grown men and they, in return, addressed me as "Officer."
As soon as I heard that, I couldn't keep from cracking a smile so I quickly darted through a nearby doorway.
But the power associated with that word, specifically when directed to you, is unbelievable.
Power
It sometimes escapes our consciousness. But power is something everyone strives for. To be the person in power, the one in control. Not just control over others. But control over yourself.
However, one may decide to give up the power he/she has over oneself. When people give up the power over themselves, they lose control. The idea behind this is that they believe they are still in control because (after all) they were the ones who decided to give up that power and therefore they can take it back whenever they want to.
This illusion that one can just choose to lose control over oneself and still be powerful tricks everyone. Including myself.
I like power. I like to be in control of myself. I know that if I lose power over myself that I can't suddenly get it back. So why do I decide to lose control?
I don't think it is a matter of me deciding to lose control as much as it is a matter of not being able to find it.
It is not as easy as putting on a police uniform and suddenly having the "power." Some people can find the power in things that they do or how they look or where they are or who they are with. The best way to find the power is by looking at yourself for who you really are and being happy with it.
This quote in no way applies to this topic but it just sounds way to cool.
"And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."
