The question reminds me of interviewing for a lateral arabesque transfer in the corporation I worked for, which would have put me on the top floor of an office tower. I looked down at the street from the office window and said to the VP who was trying to recruit me, "People on the sidewalk look like ants. Must give you a sense of being powerful." He smiled and agreed, thinking that was a selling point. "That's why I'm staying where I am," I told him.

What kind? Like electrical power? Magic? The wind?
Oh you're talking about money and fame..

My laziness would reach its peak, I'm afraid. I guess I'd make other people do all the unpleasant chores instead of me and I'd just do fun stuff.
popmol · 22-25, M
@CrazyMusicLover same here :p but that's not the worst corruption
I think power gives you thoughts and opinions which you will not have otherwise.

You can see it in YouTube videos where people ask the police " Do you know Who I am " .

@Ihopetolivehappily that’s not power, that’s called Ego.
@justanothername I beleive, that Ego comes only when you have power or at least when you think you have power.
justanothername · 51-55, M
@Ihopetolivehappily ego and “influence” or assumed influence and entitlement. Power is something else and usually goes hand in hand with corruption.
Rhode57 · 56-60, M
It wouldnt . When you have tasted both sides of the coin in gives you insight most rich never have and I think it makes you more thoughtful of those not so well off and appreciate having the power to facilitate real change well it would me anyway.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Rhode57 some do forget where they came from
Carissimi · 70-79, F
I don’t think power would corrupt me, at least I hope it wouldn’t. No one can say for sure until they experience such power, but I think I’d remain true to myself and values, and I’d like to think I’d only use power for good, and to right some wrongs.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Carissimi how nice :) and i know i wouldn't know but i'd surround me with thing s i love and then enjoy life
Pretzel · 61-69, M
if it were absolute power it could corrupty me absolutely

but just medium power?

I'd park in the no-parking zones (not the handicapped spots, I'm not an animal for pete's sake)
popmol · 22-25, M
@Pretzel that's good to hear :)
Heartlander · 80-89, M
Hmmm???

Like any other possession we invest and put effort to sustain it and resist efforts by others to take it away.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Heartlander protect and keep! dragon sickness!
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@popmol If we feel secure about what we have, and don't feel threatened, we can take it for granted and it sustains on its own. The problems come when we want more and to get more we think we have to take it away from someone else.
TexChik · F
Absolutely.
popmol · 22-25, M
@TexChik well i'd be a friendly monster :)
TexChik · F

popmol · 22-25, M

Responsibility is power.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Casheyane thats a weird power
Casheyane · F
@popmol Most people don't realize it. People think power is something they can hold over others. In a way, yes. But strength comes from having a purpose. That means owning responsibility for things or people. No power will last if there is no acknowledging reponsibility.
popmol · 22-25, M
@Casheyane well power without reason is like virtual money they are bubbles who'll burst.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F

Dave1955 · 61-69, M
I don't think it could because I don't want power, I despise those in power I see those in power as corrupt degenerate jumped nobody's
