driven for power?

"...another long day all you've got is another late night attending another party meeting ppl who are so fake..." - Quote from Silent Night

So, this whole week was jammed filled with stuff. Rushing from place to place, meeting all sorts of people, seeing all sorts of weird stuff which only 1 person noes about. ahha! On monday alone, i went for driving which started at 8.30am, then realised that there was school. haha! So, i rushed for school an hour and a half late. Luckily my lecturer didnt notice. Muahaha.. then school till 6pm. Followed by driving from 6.30pm to 10.20pm again. I was dead tired. Came home n plonged to bed. Followed by the same routine the following day, except, no driving in the morning. haha!

WHY ARE WE ALL SO DRIVEN FOR POWER?

We are so driven for power that it has become the biggest problem in many of our lives. We want it, don't we? We will go to the ends of the earth to get it. We will do whatever it takes to get it. It doesn't stop anyone from stepping on our toes, why not step on a few toes. It is our passion, our greed. But, when we have it, no one is allowed to take it away from us.

Why are we so driven by it, could be due to the mere fact that we want recognition. Name me one person who never in his life wanted recognition for anything. Bet you can't name anyone. By someone admitting he/she has never wanted recognition in his life already proves he wants recognition -recognition for never wanting recognition.

Has anyone ever made you do something you never wanted to? Something which made you loose their trust, but might secure their power. How much do you allow yourselves to be manipulated? Or when will you decide to put your foot down and stop it?

"...the dark side is a pathway to many abilities, some consider it to be unnatural..." - Quote from Star Wars Episode 3

The dark side of Power is pretty much similar to the good side. Both want power, both are afraid of loosing it. The dark side of things do not see themselves as bad. It is a perception. Why do you think there are good and bad in this world? It is the way people think.

"he became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power" - Star Wars Episode 3
