RE: Why does power often lead to corruption?

in #philosophy6 years ago

We, human beings, basically greed driven in response to our survival instincts. Since ancient times, people exploit and kill other people with their own powerful weapons and armies, invading territories to those vulnerable people, because agriculture is lack of sophistication therefore scarcity is everywhere. In middle ages, using hypocrisy and subjective bible to acquire power from people who's naive and it really works until today. As we grow in modern ages we still inherits some of the personality from our ancestors, that's why chaos, war , crimes , hunger still exist today. But as we evolved as conscious being we tend to asked ourselves is abundance, peace, equality possible? The answer would be yes and we still working on it. With the advancement of science, philosophy and governance it will be.
