I think power is more intoxicating than love or than fear. Mostly because with power, afterwards comes love and fear. People strive and will do anything to achieve power, especially men. People compete, succeed, and fail trying to reach power. Striving for power seems like a life goal to some people. Power gets you places and gets you things. Power means control and who doesn’t want to be in control?
Power brings love. Women lust for men in power because it is so intoxicating. Power makes people want to be you and have what that power has brought you. Power brings envy and jealously because so many people want it and desire it.
Power also brings fear. We are sometimes scared of power or more so the people in power because they are in control. We fear how power can take over one’s mind and consume their life. We fear too much power and one person controlling too much. We fear when we do not have power what will happen and where we will be. We like knowing what will happen and what will come. Humans like to have ideas and plans for ourselves and our future. When we are not in control or do not have power and our plans change, we become lost and uncomfortable. Not having power often makes us feel below what we are.
In our society and in the world power means success. Power means, money, happiness, love, and a fulfilled life. But do we ever achieve the power we strive for? Or, do we spend our whole lives chasing it? I feel like life is more about the journey trying to make it there. But, even if we do make it there will we truly be happy when we get there? I don’t think so, because then we will just want more and more and will never stop or be satisfied. Power can be an evil thing and negatively affect people. It is truly intoxicating.
