Power

POWER
these 5 alphabets makes a word which makes the world go round...!
anywhere & everywhere u can see people running after just one & only one thing...
starting from a new born infant, who seems to have a control over his loving parents by default...
a teenager who struggles to have the power to control his own life & decisions...
an employee, a boss, a politician, a man, a woman, someone young or old...
in short.. just about EVERYONE...!

Why...? what is power...?
does it mean absolute control...? the ability to do whatever u want, whenever u want, to whom so ever u want...?
why is it human nature to seek power in whatever form or degree possible...? to attain it by whatever possible means...?
the most significant point is... on one wants the power to maintain a control over themselves, but on everyone else around them n also expect others to accept it... the power to control not one's own, but others lives...

what is it that attracts everyone to it...? can it have as simple an explanation as this..
the power & control over things boosts the omnipresent human EGO (in the conventional sense)...?
or is there more to it than meets the eye...

With power, comes responsibility...
but do most people with power realise it...? if they do realsie it, do they accept it...? & if tehy do accept it, do they practise it...?

I saw 2 movies today... Spy Game (Robert Redford n Brad Pitt) ; Yuva
In first, the CIA is tryin to find a reason to end the life of a man of their own, so that the power game between US n China can continue with the winner ofcourse being US...
In second, a politicain will go to any possible extent to maintain his position n to retain his power... he's ready to bribe, kill or whatever it takes...

another characteristic of Power.... it is addictive... if someone once has it, they just cant let go of it...! n if they are made to, the result is a frustrated being...

Life is nothing but a game of power...
