Politics & Corruption
The Reflection of Power: A Political Parable
Within the silent hallways of the power, recently silent words of George Norcross the power house of executive chairman of Conner Strong & Buckelew, an insurance and benefits brokerage find themselves echoing loud. He hardly imagined those rumors would declare so vociferous. Surprising to him, they entangled himself in a web of his own predicament.
For the healthcare guru, over 13 counts of racketeering has already become more than symptom of a deep malaise that plagued the political landscape; giving reason for his indictment.
One would wonder, as he sat behind his office desk surrounded by trapping influence how Norcross entertained his endevor as the innate ability, not knowing this gift of force was wielded by precision or a beast that consumed its master.
Regardless the lines between right and wrong clouded his vision in the pursuit of control, and he wondered if the ends truly justified the means.
The story ends with Norcross gazing out of his window, contemplating the duplicity of his existence. A man of endeavor, now shackled by the very system he pursued to steer. Ultimately, he probably recognizes that real power rests not in titles, fame, or wealth but in the ability to rise above the fray and seek a higher objective.
