Power in selfish hands sows misery, oppression

Editor,

There are two kinds of people who pursue positions of authority: those who want to be in positions of authority so they can benefit themselves at the expense of everyone else, and those who want to be in positions of authority to manifest what will be of benefit for all.

What is essential for those not in positions of authority is that they prevent the former of these two types of people from ever being in positions of authority for very long and ensure that the latter of these two types of people stay in positions of authority. When the opposite occurs, there is dictatorship, oppression and lack of prosperity in the land.
