Question

when is power right? when is it evil?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Power. It’s what everybody wants, right? That’s the story at least. Money, political influence, weapons, power to intimidate, power to make people do things, power to build things, power to get things done. Every movie, every news story, most everything we hear, it’s is just pursuit of power, over and over again. Nietzschean realism. Power and violence are interesting. That’s the story.

Power causes a lot of problems, and it is tempting to think of power as being an evil thing, because it is so liable to abuse. The adage that power corrupts has ample supporting evidence.
