Great Power comes with great responsibilities....

It is always being said that "GREAT POWER COMES WITH GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES" and a person using that great power should always be rational and could not be influenced by EVIL elements....and thats the most expected nature of a powerful person...but it is quite often that most of the people holding great power dont behave properly, irrespective of the fact that a a tiny bad decision can destroy the lives of millions or may be billions people...

There are many cases in the history as well as in the today's modern days when a stupid and selfish decision by a dictator or any powerful person results in a total collapse of many civilisations and countries...What i mean when i say a powerful person?? it means that a person who has the capability and capacity to affect the lives of large number of people either in a bad way or good way...Once a person got that status, i think he should be responsible for the goodwill of the group of people who can be affected by his decision....even great and greatest leaders of the world cant claim that they never took a wrong decision.....

Sometimes i think, is it justified to give that much power to a single person?? what happenes when the person becomes selfish, irrational and irresponsible?? Well, its a million dollar question that how much power should be given to a person...

How come a single person can decide the fate of the millions people??...In todays materialistic world when the power of money seems to be the SUPER POWER....which claims to buy each and evrything.....so Who is more powerful....richer or poorer??....its a long time debate how come a person lives in big luxuries house with all the facilities in the same society where thousands of peoples even cant get a hut to live in..... the human insensitivity towards a socially backward people is increasing....the gap between the poorest and richest person in the world is increasing with a faster pace which doesnt seem to be slowed down in near future....why its happening?? the simple answer is MONEY can influence the persons who hold the great powers without any responsibility and favours the policies which helps their financer to be more and more richer...

I dont know how much evilness needed indside a powerful person to take such a harass step which can destroy the livelihood of millions and only favours a few individuals.....well, thats the unanswerable question....
