Power is a strange sort of cat, part feral part domestic while always seeking means for development at the cost of others.

The Bible is a owners manual for such affairs, the seeking of power. Power over others or power over thyself or simply a moment when stories came to bear like parables of old, so as to get one's attention for the sake of avoiding reality.

The trouble begins there in the seeking of power and ends with the small people who are its victims. Sad, while true. True as time has shown. Shown like all power when given to those who neither love nor intent to, just seek tyranny. over the minds of the small.

Thank you for your essay. It resonated. It spoke to the hard truths of what becomes of humans when scared and frightened. And unwilling to discover the truth on one's own.
