Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Due to its attractiveness, power is a highly sought after possession/position. This is since it is viewed as a vital source of satisfaction (or achievement). However, on closer comprehension this is a wrong perception of the word ‘power’ precisely because it is defined as ‘the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way’. It is more about responsibility and accountability and less about blatant authority. As such, one can infer that having power is not a desirable thing at all. Ignorance is bliss and that is the hallmark of a powerless life.
