Addiction to Power…
Being strong and seizing power has an important place in the life of every living thing. In the animal kingdom, power is necessary for the continuation of the progeny and the herd. The mighty animal is the leader of the pack and guides the pack and its future until someone comes along and takes it down.
In the human world, power is quite complex. Power is particularly associated with "masculinity". It includes rudeness, rudeness, and intimidation, sometimes with the power of sanction.

However, we know that power is knowledge, virtue, humility, tolerance, being loyal. It is a person's dreams, cooperation, courage, the desire to learn, the feeling of achieving something, the desire to leave a trace, self-respect, character, being reliable, honesty, not hurting anyone, empathy, being able to wonder for one's head, compassion and love for animals, trees, insects, respect. …
