Demands and expectations…

…on different people. Are they the same?

Some Swedish voices on current "affairs" here:

”However, the highest up in trade and business get through the criticism gallantly because they have no moral capital to lose.”

“The moral laws in this world look like this: the ones fighting for equality always have to carry a much bigger responsibility than the ones fighting against it [right wing people get through the criticism while left wing don’t. And it’s like this it looks all over the world: you have higher demands on the ones that are supposed to be nice and think on other people. Or rather, lower or no demands on those that aren’t supposed to care about anybody else, or how you express this!?].”

“The very most of the power that is exercised in a society is produced through the economical owner conditions as we know.”

But in this world you put higher demands on those with less power and resources. And it seems to be the same all over the world (the power uses dividing and ruling as a method). Struck me on a bike ride that the Norwegian General Practitioner Anna-Luise Kirkengen talks and writes about power imbalance and what this means. With a few words this means that the one with more power has more responsibility. This doesn't mean though that the one with less power can do whatever he or she wants to the on with more power.

The more money and property you have the more power you have. Pippi Longstocking said something in the style:

“The stronger you are [the more power you have] the kinder you have to be.”

Those who have most money, property, things are they the kindest, nicest, most caring? How have they gotten their money, property, things? With what means?

The Swede Ingvar Kamprad for instance were not there for his kids I think. But he had a wife taking care of them and the home. And she stayed there for him too…

How many men of all the men in this world would back up a woman in that or a similar way? How many women haven’t had to choose between a possible career and a family?

What do we live on this earth for? What and how much should we have to sacrifice?

Addition in the evening: See earlier posting “What sort of self image – and self-esteem? On bonus and compensation scandals…”

It’s more okay when some people are bullies. Then we don't even see it many times?
