"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men" Obtaining power can be a dangerous thing especially when you do not know what to do with such power. Many people may not be prepared or suited to hold power. This corrupts people inside out and molds them into something that may portray fear most of the time. Absolute power is on it own standard level though. That creates madness in someone who is not used to such power and absolutely corrupts a person. Power is a weapon of mass destruction, if you don't believe so just take a look at Vladimir Putin or Kim Jun Un. These men are crazy with power and do what they feel fit so. Power is so abused that they make themselves seem as superheros sometimes which is believed by the public.
