A very strong influence or ability to control somebody, people, an organization or a nation. The will to govern or rule over a large number of people and make decisions is power. People from the upper class are regarded as the most powerful. As they will always say "there's nothing you cannot acquire with money" They made up that awful statement whenever they want to achieve something, they have the whole world at their feet as they can command and make any decision favourable to them. As long as they have money, they do whatever they like, and as been said that you cannot acquire power without money. Is that really true?
Some people desired to be rich while some desired to be powerful. However, there are many today, that are very rich yet they have a very strong desire to be more powerful. For a man that is already rich and an influencer, known as a multi billoniare is seeking for a powerful position by all means especially the one that serves as a detriment to citizen's life and the society, what is really the motive behind that?
Greed. It is the motive behind every selfish interest in acquiring power in a dubious means. It's so unfortunate that we are governed by these so called greedy and selfish leaders whose only motivate is to acquire wealth and power excessively. Many of these people have trampled upon the poor, shed innocent blood, cheated in one way or the other just to acquire what they desire. It is greed and selfishness that will make a man appoint his own family and loved ones into a position that they are not even qualified for because he has an ulterior motives.
What do powerful men really desire? You have acquired enough wealth for your whole family, you have invested a lot in businesses and you have influenced your family in a way that they can never be poor for the rest of their lives. Why then are you still craving for what is not yours. Greediness and Power does not have it's peak. You keep desiring it more and more even if it means getting rid of any stumbling blocks before you.
Greed for power and money can turn a good man into worst. It detaches man and take the whole of him. It corrupts the mind totally, just like a poison when taken spreads and destroy the whole body system so is greediness and excessive quest for power.
Great men do not influence badly. They do not trample upon the poor and the needy they are interested and concerned in the interest of others. They are kind and generous, they do not allow selfishness to mount wings on them. They impact positively into people's life. They invest in young dreams and build a better future for them and a better country to live in. A society where the needs of the people will be considered the top most priority.
Any other man seeking for power for his own selfish interest and desire. What should we call them?
Thank you for reading ♥️♥️♥️
