RE: Why does power often lead to corruption?
Nice one.
There is also a matter of different point of view.
There are cases where the one with power, is having a different opinion from the masses and s/he thinks that a certain move / policy / action is going to benefit a lot of people, the community as a whole. However, since it's being rejected by the masses, it can be considered as corruption of power. His goodwill is being interpreted as something evil.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions and such. I would say the problem stems from people thinking they need someone else to decide what's best for them in the first place. If the system did not exist, there would be no one making decisions that the masses didn't approve of, and it becomes a bit of a chicken and the egg situation. As long as people pursue power, there will be power struggles.
Agree. Chicken and egg situation.
