Yes. We each have authority that descended from God. The problem rests when we fail to accept that authority and instead grant it to somebody else. It is our responsibility to not only accept that authority but learn how to use it in a peaceful, non-violent way so that we can bring peace and prosperity to the planet. However, feudal masters have created a framework to take on all that power and authority from those who refuse to govern themselves. As a result, all that power is now being centralized and corrupts anybody who gets near it. That is where the evil is created. Indeed very diabolical!
