Aarambh hai prachanda...

In a post i had asked what is the difference between the king and the horse, if they had the same amount of power, skill, and intelligence, the answer was very simple, the instinct to rule, the instinct to crush all opposition with extreme prejudice and to prove without doubt that the king is the one who rules, unquestioned and unchallenged. The horse is the one that lacks this sort of instinct and thus in every battle it merely becomes a tool for the king to use, and not the ruler itself. Why am i saying this... well
1. Because i want to, and 2. Because i have been thinking about the world of power, it is very alluring and murky to say the least.

The quest for power is a path walked by many but nobody succeeds in getting to the end, there is no destination, just like there is no true perfection, there is no absolute power. THERE IS ONLY THE ETERNAL QUEST OF POWER. "Might is right" that is a saying and also a topic i was given to evaluate my GD skills, and obviously i was for the motion /*that is something that i do very often, play the devil's advocate, all of us are just so perfect in what we say and what we try to potray, but inside all of us know that we are extremely prejudiced against something or the other, nobody can boast of being totally neutral, show me the man/ woman and i will show you the truest hypocrite ever, alright moving on, defending what seems indefensible is what really turns my screw, or it may just be the fact that even if i lose in defending, it doesn't feel like a loss, more on this insightful crap later */, and what i said is that might is indeed right because it is might that decides what is right, look around,

the judge with the power to sentence people to their deaths, the policeman to protect the law can take away civil liberties, the army-man, can press a trigger and end the life of another soldiers,

and these are considered to be righteous people, why because they have the might to do those things hence they are right in the act they perform, leave aside the fact that these powers are given to them, the tiger has the power to end the sambar's life, and because it has the power to do so, we consider this to be the law of nature, the law of nature is, whoever survives or can survive with their powers, they have the right to live, and there are no exceptions, this is the cool ruthless logic of nature. KILL OR BE KILLED.
That was just the discussion of power, the thing that seduces me the most is the ruthlessnes that is associated with the act of power, absolute ruthlessness, the act of removing all sentiments and confusing subjectivity, the shortest route from A to B. The most tactically perfect act, minimum damage absorbed and maximum inflicted. The cold logic of Sun Tzu in the art of war, the ruthless extermination of rival leaders by Temujin (Genghis Khan- to the not so historically attuned), the decisive sinking of the Bismarck by 4 Royal navy ships. All great leaders were to a large extent ruthless, and that is what i find immensely intriguing, to act knowing that you might let your own be killed but with the conviction of the eventual gain.
Some say that true power is to control.
Some say true power is the power to take a life.
Some say that true power is to love.

I don't know the answer, but maybe some of think you do, i say think because nobody knows what true power is....
