I have a dream. It is a dream truly based in principles, ethics. I would like to act following my principles, as the unique possible way to respect myself. I actually try to do it, when working with other people, when debating about policy, when putting confidence in my friends, when thinking alone. It is not as uthopic as it seems, there are no impossible things when the only thing that matters is human's own willpower, but demands, constantly, all my sincerity and effort as a human being. That's why I say I'm able to decide who I am.
Nevertheless, I am not certain about keeping that way of doing, that way of living. I feel power running through my veins because the moment of taking decisions that affect more people than me is approaching, although still far. And then what? Will I be able to maintain that personal freedom that I have now? Will my decisions be taken apart from my principles? Principles are rational or irrational when taking decisions? I still haven't an answer for those questions. What I know is that power transforms. For the good things and for the bad ones.
I propose using the magic that power contains for the greater good. I suppose this last expression is the only relevant thing when someone is at the chair of power: the greater good. The greater good is the best response to the constant deal of interests that suffers all governments, but it is a decision taken by a human being, and so he can be wrong about what it's the greater good. It's a personal and irrational decision. And irrational feelings, like love, are farther than goodness and badness. Nietzsche dixit.
