Quote #1: Power

This is my first quote posting, and one that is exceptionally relevant.

I have been thinking about power for some time now. When I say power, I mean it in all forms and definitions, and all shapes and sizes.

This quote explains my thoughts on the subject perfectly.

"Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely"
-John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834–1902) AKA Lord Acton

In today's world we exhibit power in many forms upon each other, think about direct communication (cellphones, facebook, social networking), the "to-be-famous" attitudes of people today, and the fight for the top to be "successful".

Just a thought.
