We all keep searching for authority. No
matter how much self-assurance we might possess, the idea of someone reviewing
our ideas is greatly reassuring. I make decisions and I can feel they are
right, still, I search for approval. Not an advice, nor a suggestion, rather, a
straightforward judgment. We seek it from people we value or appreciate. At
times, they can be complete strangers, yet we intuitively detect their
compelling authority.
It ‘s about how we perceive the person in
front of us. His taste, aesthetics, life wisdom and things achieved in life. I
want to ask someone so competent that I can feel I am on my route to
perfection. I know it doesn’t exist, yet it’s just an aspiration and
individually, we find the entities that embody a certain ideal. We can do
anything to maintain them, because we need them to thrive.
Sometimes I wonder why things cannot exist
on their own. They need to be talked about and consulted. Probably, for a
better result. We spend whole lives reviewing our actions. Sometimes, an
authority can share responsibility for failures, but most of the time, he will
remain intact. As things turn out wrong, we blame ourselves and try to convince
the world, we will never be able to succeed alone.
I think we need idols, partners and friends
for so many beautiful reasons. Still, support is a different matter, so is
sharing ideas or getting a piece of advice. An authority is distant and
inaccessible, unquestionable and looked up to. If life is a constant quest for
validation, I want to understand how to become an authority for oneself,
remaining open-minded and humble.
