There's a general assumption now that every man in a position of power is or will soon be corrupt and oppressive. Yet the Greeks understood and praised a positive male energy that has accepted authority.
In modern society, there is a prevalent belief that men in positions of power are likely to become corrupt and oppressive over time. This assumption casts a shadow over leadership roles, suggesting that authority is inherently linked to moral failure. Such cynicism reflects a deep-seated skepticism towards individuals who hold power.
In contrast, the ancient Greeks recognized and celebrated a more positive aspect of masculine energy associated with authority. They valued the concept of accepting leadership as a noble trait, suggesting that power can be wielded responsibly and ethically. This perspective challenges the negative narrative surrounding male authority in contemporary times.
