As I think about today’s current world, I’m wondering what it would take for you to cast off your beliefs and values for power? I know that human beings like power, but I also believe that most people are good. They are not greedy and usually want to do the right thing. I want to know what tips the scales. Is it fear? Is it a lack of empathy for others? What would tip the scale for you?

Power is a provocative thing, often misunderstood and revered. It often comes with corruption at the expense of others. Power doesn’t equal success. Would you give up what you believe in for power? I don’t think I could. Could you give up what you believe in for power and money? Again, I don’t think I could. I don’t think the pursuit of power and the pursuit of happiness work together. If you seek power, you can’t stop. I don’t see it as part of being happy for life.
