Power and fame

What do we understand by the word power?

Power as defined in the dictionary is an ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way. Then let's relate this to we human being, the literal meaning of power is that strength we have to do a certain thing maybe we want to lift a log of wood, that strength that helps us achieve that is the power we have over that particular log of wood. Now let's see it from another point of view what it means when someone is said to have power. Let's take our politicians as an example, they are powerful people they are in the place of power they can do and undo, they go Scot free even when they are wrong and that is power, they control the affairs of the country as they like, they feed their own pockets and no one to question them because they are in the place of power. A common saying says "you can't know the real colour of a person until he or she is rich or in a place of power" and it's true, every one tends to have a camouflage nature we change suddenly especially when we attain a position of power and authority and that is human being for you. You might see a gentle, well behaved man or woman before riches and power and suddenly when he or she gets there you see another different person entirely. He or she mit become wicked and hostile you will now be wondering what has happened to him or her that's what power does. Everyone wants to attain the position of power.

Let's talk about fame

Fame is the state of being known or talked about by many people, especially on account of notable achievement. Power and fame works hand in hand anywhere you see power you will see fame, powerful people are always famous people, fame contributes to individual behaviour just like power does. You will see them beating their chest saying don't you know me? I am this, I am that, they are letting you know how famous they are. Fame can make someone misbehave in so many ways because anyone with fame will see themselves as next to God. It takes discipline to overcome the spirit of pride when someone is famous for soneone not to act rashly. Power and fame are great factors that build individual characters.

In conclusion

Power and fame is good In fact I crave for it too, I want to be in a position of power and I want to be famous, I want to be known, I want to be celebrated but in the hope of getting all these we have to guide our heart, mind and spirit not to be swayed by the good things that comes with power and fame.
