While doing my research paper over the weekend I was reading numerous sources about Richard Nixon. Of course the prompt was over epic flaws and his was struggle with power. It made me realize just how afwul power can be. Looking at the news and the history of the world when power comes to play it is anything goes. Power is an extremely hard thing to limit and control, it is a deadly extremely addictive. The thirst for power cannot be quenched, it is an unstopable force.
Think for a second about all the infamous names that come to mind when you think of power. Hitler, Castro, and Nixon, they are all aparent evil beings. What if they had never tasted the power in which they got transformed by, what if they had never tasted the beast that ruined them. Would Hitler be arguable the most awful being to walk the earth and would Nixon be the worst president in U.S. history? Power itself is not a bad thing, but controlling it is nearly impossible. It shaped some of the most evil people in the world's history and it will always be a main source of evil in the world.
