Paragraph On Love of Power
Love of power is inherent in every human
being. It is the instinct of everyone to climb up to the top in position and
power. There is no other passion in the world that is as universal as the love
of power. Man always hankers after power. Power is the source of all strength.
Man tries his best to achieve it. However, excess desire for power often lands
to disaster. But people always rush after this power. Sometimes a whole nation
or society is maddened by this passion. It tries to shallow smaller and weaker
neighbors. This ambition for power is predominant in politicians and high
officials. The person who has this love of power turns out to be a self-centered
man in the long run. Without power, he can think of nothing. Sometimes, even he
forgets his relatives hankering after money and power. Love of power is an
addiction. He, who has once got the touch of this addiction always keeps the
tendency to run after it. But the means followed by the people to get more power
are not always fair and honest. By adopting betrayal, cheating, and opportunism,
people often achieve power. People who once get power do not want to leave it
easily. But the love of power cannot be denounced always. Power can also be
used for good purposes. When power is obtained by legitimate means and
exercised judiciously delivering good to the people, it is a boon. Every man
desires to get more power just to have more authority. But if the people use it
for a noble reason, it is good; but if it is used for the sake of evil way it is
a curse. So only in cases where power is used for noble purposes, the love of power
can be appreciated as a very noble passion.
