Power

Some people have become better because of power. But power can easily corrupt people. People who are competent in handling power are those who did not wish it or who were asked to render service to the community. People who long for power easily fall prey to pride, partiality, exploitation or abuse. Power becomes so important to them that it has to be protected by all means. One becomes authoritarian and suspicious of anybody who may become a rival. One start talking about the unity of the family or state security while it is really the security of the power of one authoritarian person that is at stake.
