Many in positions of power take up such post in fulfillment of a neuritic need to exercise power over others- prison guards,police officers some judges, teachers,parents, politicians- you understand.

'This will be a better world when the power of love replaces the love of power."
The above was from one of my favorite author's- Gerry Spence-
