People who know...

Those who present themselves as rational or spiritual guideposts, as beacons in the darkness, were we to know them intimately, we would shrink at the utter vacuity or turmoil of their interior landscapes.
I challenge you to get close to anyone who passes himself or herself off as a moral or spiritual authority, you will find yourself sucked into a world of problems that a panel of psychiatrists could not begin to describe.
The television anchor with his air of gray templed authority; the cable commentator radiating moral certitude; the great statesmen in his dark suit and striped tie standing on an airport tarmac before a battery of microphones; the violent dogmatic leader from his mountain headquarters, interviewed by Al Jazeera with the fire of religious fervor burning hotly in his eyes.
All of them, people with problems.

You misspelled "grey."
Grey and gray are both accepted in the English language. They refer to a color of a neutral tone between black and white, and can also be used metaphorically to convey gloom and dullness. However, gray is the more popular spelling in the US, while grey reigns supreme in the UK. For centuries, the one letter difference between gray and grey has left people wondering if the two have different meanings.

And kudos to Alpha Zette for quoting the ultimate authority... the rulebook.
Grey and gray are both accepted in the English language. But you are right, gray is more popular and more accepted.
Good looking out friend. 🙂
I speak American, not some foreign gibberish.
lulz. hahahahahahahahahaha
We should all be moral or spiritual authorities... unto ourselves and those who seek that from us.
But assumption that we ARE, is always a mistake. Such qualities vary for each of us through time.
Voteeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'd like to take it one step further and ask another question. As these self-styled authorities try to force their agenda down the gullets of the rest of the world, do we believe it is their problems, i.e. megalomania or religious fervor or intense patriotism/racism that have pushed them into the spotlight or are those qualities (conditions?) something they develop on their journey to power?

I both agree and disagree with your article. I aspire myself a spiritual healer. I have used my problems, which I have overcome, to help others overcome their problem using methods, I discovered to ease my problems. Also if you eliminate a source of wisdom, then you limit the information to overcome your own problems. The key is not to internalize other people's problems but to find out if their method of overcoming their problems is successful or not. I like your thinking mr Drunk Jenkins, good luck in your quests.
