PURSUIT OF POWER FOR MONEY OR MONEY FOR POWER RUINS ANY STATE

The end of great countries and Empires usually come after the coronation of a leader with insatiable greed or obsession for money and power in disguise for common good. These leaders campaign as if they are godsend to revitalize and clean up their domain. When elected, they crush the Opposition and repress any dissenter that sees situations differently.

You may then realize why they desire power and money so desperately. They want control of both in their mischievous ways. Yet, there is nothing more beautiful and gratifying than Money or Power separately. Each has been used to rectify injustice, poverty, wrong and cruelty of man against man. Powerful people do not need money to actualize common good just as rich people realize money is not enough to buy them happiness.

Most individuals should be satisfied with either money or power. Each is enough to further the interest of civilized societies. Those looking desperately for the concentration of money and power to rule humanity are up to miserable ends. It must be admitted that a few men and women, without reckless pursuit of power or money, have implemented benevolent measures.

The rise of dictators comes as born again saviors, promises of salvation from decadence to cleaning up the Augean stable or proclaiming one religion or political ideology as the only way to heaven declaring opponents as traitors, nonbelievers are infidels deserving death. Men obsessed with power and money turn themselves into Superman willing and able to tackle the most difficult problem easily

However, as soon as man decides he needs one to actualize the other, humanity is in trouble. Combination of both in the hands of many arrogant individuals give them the illusions of Superman that can do and undo what either money or power alone cannot accomplish. One in the hands of reasonable individuals is enough to accomplish dreams while both increase the chances of explosive destruction of humans if they do not get their ways.

Why would a man with money pursue power at all cost or men with power use it to pursue money, if not for corruption. Powerful and rich individuals want more, to control others' lives. They want to command you, tell you how to vote, how to live your life and how to work for them. They are willing to influence you, even against your own interests. As long as it advances their personal interests.
