Power and Character

Power as they say corrupts. Worldwide this phenomenon unites the powerful and makes them come on a common platform.Nothing else could have achieved this feat but`Power'.
The world is growing and so are the attitudes,lifestyle or even the approach.Though many cry foul but all is being taken in stride.
Start with the approach, where a head of the state gently massaged another but this time it was a Lady,or even how the number twos flirted with each other in a press conference. The eyes look down and follow everywhere whether its a head of a state or its his chosen one.The power does corrupt the mind.
Recently HP removed its top boss for an allegation which is so common now. Of course another one hired his services.It did corrupt his thinking not his mind,very confusing but pardonable.
Till sometime back Power forced the powerful to hide their preferences but as the world grows and braces itself for a new one, infact most of them boast about their prowess so openly.Of course it doesn't matter if it comes from Italy or France.
I always used to assume that power meant money but as I grew up it gave a new dimension.The character does start showing cracks as one grows more powerful.The lure and lust grows whether its for the money or the woman.Who could ever forget the alleged video of an 80 year old politician caught with not one but 2 or were there 3.
So we do draw a silent conclusion that irrespective of the trade you are in Power does corrupt and there is no formatting which can bring your sanity and character back.
Yes this is all about Power and Character which lose their sheen as time advances and mind becomes more numb and wanders alongside lust and lure.
