Power Corrupts – Absolutely!

“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men. Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it; and this I know, my lords, that where laws end, tyranny begins." - Lord Action in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887

All of us love power. All of us are prone to corruption. But it does not mean that absolute powerlessness may make you an angel. Nevertheless, it is charming, and alluring, to wield power over men and to excel before others, notwithstanding that power also has the capacity to completely ruin and destroy and has its own hazards.

Look at what you learnt in your History books. The books are full of rulers, leaders, bosses and generals and commanders who began well and ended shoddily. They all testified that they pursued and strived for power for the sake of good. Subsequently they became infatuated and got anesthetized by power. They began loving power for its own sake.
