The problem with governments is 'government'.

A big problem with governments is 'governing' itself. Some government were established by 'force', 'fraud', 'conquest' or 'heredity', or by some other means; other than by being 'selected', or 'elected' by the People. Of course, some were 'instituted' by the People, and some were 'elected' by the people. In any case, and regardless the 'form' of government, all governments are for the purpose of governing 'their' People. This, I'm sure, is obvious to everyone. So, why do governments 'fail' their People? Why can't government, in general, govern properly? Why do 'personal issues' or 'considerations' enter the problem of governing, and why do these 'considerations' not include the 'welfare' and 'well being' of their own People? The answer is simple. For some reason or other, Rulers, Leaders, Dictators, Presidents, Administrators, or whatever they call themselves, are not 'doing' their Job. They're too busy trying to become more powerful; to acquire more land, or to 'expand their influence' beyond the boundaries of their own Nation, and into the International sphere'. That, instead of trying to improve the general welfare and the well being of their own People. Maybe I should change my premise; maybe the problems of governments are the Individuals who do the 'governing'. After all, a government has a 'structure' that it follows, or should follow, when it governs. All governments govern from the Top of their 'structure'. But, some governments acquired the 'right' to govern by 'force', 'fraud', 'conquest', 'heredity' or some other method, and consequently, that is not a 'real' method of acquiring the 'right to govern'. Why not? Because no 'human being' is 'superior' than some Other human being. There is no such thing as being born with some 'inherent power' to govern. Power, in government comes from the People that are the 'governed'. There is no other source, of political power, and 'power' is power. By that last statement, I mean there is no such thing as being a 'weak' governor, dictator, President, or Administrator; in other words; there is no 'leader' that 'lacks' some 'imagined degree' of political power. Power is power. He or she has it, period. Now, understand me correctly, a leader may make decisions or 'act' in ways that disagree with some other course of action, but that is never a sign of 'weakness', only a way of 'perceiving the situation'. All governing is done by human beings and if some government acts antagonistically, you can bet your last dollar, that its the 'Leaders' fault; not the 'governments'. Its simple; People, all People, like to be treated like 'Leaders' like to be treated. So, 'Leaders', leave your personal idiosyncrasies aside, and do your duty as a 'governor' of the Many.
