Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
Absolute power will overcome you're inner self and take over your life. You'll get so used to being on top you feel like nobody can ever take your place and be better than you. You lose all dignity & respect that you have for everybody.
This quote could go two ways it could turn bad & good. In the good way the power wont overcome you as much as it normally would & you wouldnt let it get to you. Still have a good amount of respect for yourself and everybody else as they would have for you just act like a typical human. But when such a great amount of respect and power jumps to you, you normally are just overwhelmed with the thought and let it take over.
In the story macbeth started to proceed power right after he found out he was gonna become the official king. When it finnally happened he got all excited & it got to him he had the thought that he could go kill everybody. But it was alright for macbeth to kill people & people still acknowledged him because of the whole king name he felt like it was the right thing to do. But it all came back to him so that didnt last too long as he thought it would same for his wife.
A perfect real life example is a police officer just because they have the power they do. They feel as if they can get you if they want some way some how. Perfect example you get pulled over a cop could simply write a statement claiming you did a hit and run etc and you get caught theirs no proof your wrong you could hire a lawer but what much is that going to do, drugs is the same thing cops could slip drugs into your pockets and claim they found it either on you or in your car. Thier only one good principle that a cop has they cant enter or search your car without a eligable reason or warrant but even still they'll find their ways to do as they please. If your a enemy to them they'll get you in jail quickly a judge takes the same lead as well as a cop they take a police officers word over your's dont matter if your wrong or right the power takes place and their automatically right.
Power is such a strong word and can be abused in many different ways. Depending how your using power it could emotionally ruin you. Lose friendships lose respect etc.. the word & quote is proven in a everyday experiance in your house in your job during your education, In life in general theirs never a way to get away from it.
