The desire for power








The desire for power is another facet of greed in its extreme. Greed has a huge appetite for power thus making people ruthless in their efforts to achieve it. Power is an addictive vice. I realized that numerous lawmakers have a high sentiment of themselves, regularly searching race out of a requirement for force and acknowledgment that gets to be unquenchable once they're in office. 
Business pioneers are not resistant to this desire for force. When one is around those conspicuous individuals, One feels effective, as well! Meher Baba dictated that "Greed is a state of restlessness of the heart, and it consists mainly of craving for power and possessions. Possessions and power are sought for the fulfillment of desires. Man is only partially satisfied in his attempt to have the fulfillment of his desires, and this partial satisfaction fans and increases the flame of craving instead of extinguishing it. Thus greed always finds an endless field of conquest and leaves the man endlessly dissatisfied. The chief expressions of greed are related to the emotional part of man".

Most of us have atleast read Macbeth once in our school days.  The play's central character, Macbeth is not happy as a high-ranking thane - leading him to assassinate Duncan to become King, while unknowingly dooming himself.  Throughout the play many examples are evident of Macbeth's unquenchable thirst for power.  It is a worth reading play. Macbeth basically attempting to cover the grimy strides deserted his journey for force he had demolished two families and murdered pure and defenseless individuals. Macbeth, before his energy would have kicked the bucket battling against this very thing. At last, when it was the ideal opportunity for Macbeth to lose the throne and his energy, he couldn't acknowledge the truth. Macbeth had gotten to used to the power, he was murdered attempting to keep it. What acquired Macbeth up the world additionally had sent him tumbling down.
Shakespeare utilizes the character Macbeth to show the unavoidable aftereffect of greed. The play unmistakably outlines the avarice driven transformation of Macbeth. He starts as a kind man who executes just in fight in the most gallant circumstances, and finishes as a dreadful man who assaults the unprotected and pays proficient killers to murder for him. Macbeth distinctively delineates an existence absurdly lived, as Macbeth fates himself while seeking after an empty objective. Just like the protagonist in Shakespears story, we have many power hungry politicians, lawmakes and corporate who do not realize that the ladder that they are using to climb the building of power is as rotten as a criminals. Since a lot of people are participating in the race so definitely one criminal is more crooked than the other in order to win. The remaining people either join the race or are the victims of the results of these monsters.
