In the history Pilate appears to be in the top position of power but has no personal authority. He is amorphous: a man who could be moved into any shape. His life is a series of pieces, the elders, the crowd, his wife, and probably the constituency in Rome, Caesar himself.
It appears that Pilate shapes his personality out of the opinion of others. He is manipulated by the very people he intends to lead. He has been severed from his roots; he is at sea and does not know which direction the wind is going to take him. He is confused about ‘ truth ‘ focusing on quick solutions which appear to be tactically aware but which are without wisdom and unrealistic about his ability to control this situation.
Today this kind of trend is well developed in most of the families, business houses, politics, NGO’s, private organizations, churches etc, with the emphasis on image and the power of the team- members. The great betrayal is that just giving people what they want is often reflecting back to them their own emptiness.
