Anything considered above criticism will soon become demonic.
-- Richard Rohr
This seems quite true at both personal and collective levels.
In other words, if institutions (government, businesses, churches, etc.) can never be criticized without fear of reprisal, then power starts to accumulate which affects everyone—both those who are held down by that power, as well as those who wield it. It becomes like a demonic force.
The same could be said about individuals.
