Authority of its nature oppresses

Is all authority of its nature a force for oppression?

The idea that an adult could talk to a 14-year-old boy and ask the child's father to stay outside the room has to suggest that the relationship was one of power, the oppressor interacting with the oppressed.

And that the father of that child stayed outside the door surely suggests that the father felt he was in a relationship with a man who had power over him. Oppressor and oppressed.

Suggested reading: Die Heimkehr.

Is this the way of the world?

What would the Jesus of the Gospels say about all of this?
