No one ruler can have power and control and stay uncorrupted history has proven this many times over its because power corrupts and it corrupts those who are suddenly put in a position of power a lot faster then it would a person who earned their way towards that power and you may think that some people will be very responsible and “pure” with their power and i say well i would say something less appropriate for this text but for this text i will just say to the challenger that he is wrong a thousand times wrong because all cases have been they inter with good and “pure” intent next thing they know they are at the top of the assassination tyrant list and have some country’s military breathing down their neck and blowing the front door off its hinges or his people revolting against hims and either banish him or just kill/execute him. they may enter their position with a pure heart but leave in a bodybag with a dark and corrupt heart there has never in all of history been a counterexample of this fact not one. power is just one of those thing like gold or jewels that people will do anything for and bloodshed is common in the process of obtaining this “glorious” luxury and with all luxuries once obtained no one wants to share them and then the circle the blood cover circle is complete on person has power one person wants power person without power kills and obtains the power and so on and so forth getting and killing just to obtain something thats not even physical its not even an object and yet people treat it as if it was.

What is it about power that makes it so great people fearing you people listening to you or people following your every command and waiting on your every whim i believe people who are lazy are the ones who want power the most they want people to do all three and i guess another reason people want power so much is because they want to be known they want everybody know there name and know who they are. People want themselves to be the greatest thing to be known.
