Summary

This quote suggests that kings, or any rulers for that matter, are insignificant and powerless when their authority or government system no longer exists. Without the structure of governance and control, they become mere shadows in a bright and prosperous world, lacking any tangible impact or influence. It highlights the transience and evanescence of power, emphasizing that even the mightiest rulers are diminished without the support and existence of their regimes.

Responsibility begins with the willingness to be cause in th

Responsibility begins with the willingness to be cause in the matter of one's life. Ultimately, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no evaluation of good or bad, right or wrong. There is simply what's so, and your stand. Being responsible starts with the willingness to deal with a situation from the view of life that you are the generator of what you do, what you have and what you are. That is not the truth. It is a place to stand. No one can make you responsible, nor can you impose responsibility on another. It is a grace you give yourself - an empowering context that leaves you with a say in the matter of life.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same kind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.
