Empires vs. Coalitions: A Defining Moment for Relationships Empires
vs. Coalitions draws a compelling comparison between relationships
functioning as an empire and relationships that represent a
gathering of equals. Empires are easy to detect. Relationships are
based on accommodation, performance, and fear, with a concentration
of power that includes vision, authority, voice, passion, and
intelligence restricted to one or a select few. It's just the
opposite with a coalition of equals, where accountability,
transparency, mutuality, and personal responsibility are valued,
because manufactured credibility is unreliable when compared to
authentic credibility. When pathways to achieve credibility and
legitimacy are primarily restricted to identifying with such tracts
as nationalism, financial, race, ethnicity, social, political,
religious, military or physical prominence, the true value of a
person is defined in a narrow and limited scope. It's not
surprising to witness repeatedly during modern times the breakdown
of trust and credibility toward scandal-ridden institutions
collapsing under the weight of having no conscious. Institutions
such as government, military, political, economics, civil,
financial, educational, religious, and marriage are tragically
caught in scandal after scandal because self-importance and
self-indulgence have replaced the principles of good character.
Empires vs. Coalitions expresses the opinion that to educate an
individual to the best that he or she inherently possesses, then
credibility is no longer necessary to achieve through blind
obedience, power, violence, and deviant behavior. In the words of
one young aspiring entrepreneur, Luke Turpeinen, "We all do the
best we can with the tools we have, but sometimes the tools are
woefully inadequate." It is time to upgrade the tools to include
the education, development, and practice of the merits of character
that inspire a gathering of equals rather than imploding empires.
