Just a short little observation on power.
Everybody likes to have power to some degree. There is something to be said for having agency over your own life. I get it. I want it, I need it. But when people start wanting, needing inordinate power and control over others, especially to make themselves feel good or whole or whatever…well, that is when things get troublesome. That is when people turn asshole-ish.
It is a trait I cannot abide in people. It puts my back up…and I hate to say turns me into as asshole sometimes because I generally work against people who are power-hungry. Don’t even get me started on abuse of power.
I have also found that this trait– this love, this need for power seems to be hereditary…as is the need to work against it.
Interesting.
