Easter is reflecting upon suffering for one thing but it also reflects upon Jesus and his non compliance in the face of great authority where he holds to his truth - so there's two stories there.

Authority doesn't work without prestige or prestige without distance.

Only the most unapologetic biblical fundamentalists for instance take every biblical injunction literally. If we all took all scripture at the same level of authority then we would be more open to slavery to the subjugation of women to wider use of stoning. Jesus himself spoke out frequently against divorce in the strongest of terms.

Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge fitter to bruise than polish.

It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law.

In order for a war to be just three things are necessary. First the authority of the sovereign. Secondly a just cause. Thirdly a rightful intention.

For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority just cause right motive.

My disposition as a human being is kind of a go-along-to-get-along person. I tend to trust authority.

Central authority is bad. The bias should be for freedom. And without a central authority there are lots of little authorities and we learn which ones to trust.

You will launch many projects but have time to finish only a few. So think plan develop launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.
