Authority Relationships

There are numerous problems that many people identify with various kinds of relationships. It seems that the only thing this is morally acceptable is a heterosexual relationship between men and women who are no more than 10 years of age apart. To general society, one of the largest and probably one of the longest held negative views on a relationship is the ever-questioned relationship involving one person of authority. Whether it is a politician, religious figure, higher ranked person in the military, teacher, or a police officer, society often objects to relationships where one person has some authority. I do not object to it on it's face. If someone happens to bear some position of power, he or she should not be punished with the inability to have a romantic relationship with somebody whom happens to be a subordinate. It would be terribly unfair to say otherwise.

The dynamic of this relationship can be interesting, I'd assume. I do wonder how often it is that someone falls for an authority figure just because of their power. That would explain some of the problems with politicians and affairs. Well, that doesn't matter much; each party in the relationship should understand the dynamic for themselves. The relationship has no terribly inexcusable aspect which differs from other relationships.
