I haven't expressed much interest since this websites inception in me being an admin or a moderator or whatever mainly because I feel that it would seem I wanted to just because I am an attention whore. But I have always felt that I would make an excellent admin because of my deep seated and passionate desire to serve competantly.
I see authority figures as people who have been given the incomparable gift of being the model of unwavering rationality, maturity, and benevolence when using their priveledges to serve the people.Â
And I always feel annoyed(if you'd believe it's actually kind of betrayed) when authority figures allow anything to stop them from serving their people with absolute respect to their duties to the above mentioned 3 qualities.
I have only served as an authority figure in one way before and it wasn't very important or noble, but I became that authority figure because I was so sick of seeing others do it poorly. I hated that there was no one who could be trusted to use their powers fairly at all times. I hated that I knew others were suffering because of others misuse of their powers. I wished there was just 1 damn example of somebody flawlessly preforming their duties without abuse, but there was none. So I fucking made myself that authority figure. If I can trust no others to provide service without abuse at least I can make sure that I don't abuse. I cannot change others but I can change myself. And my... passion to provide that example was so strong that I adheared to my duties when sad, when in despair, when blind with rage, when drunk, when stoned.
The reason I plan to become a teacher is because I hate seeing bad teachers causing people to suffer(and the damage they can do is more grevious than you might ever suspect). I NEED(and i use that term because if i am not allowed to do it, i will either die or kill myself) to be the perfect teacher for kids, and lead others teachers with my example and help create an education system that truely SERVES the students. It should be known to teachers that while their job description is teaching, their most important mission is to serve their students.
Well this started out as a post about why I'd like to be an admin or whatever incase you guys need one, and to just mention my feelings on authority figures but it turns out the subtle feeling ever present in me about them all turned out to require a little more than a mention to explain.
And this was gonna go in the elections thread but because it is mostly about how I feel about authority figures, i'm putting it in here.
