Indeed it is. It seems that most who achieve power (based on my studies of history) quickly succumb to bribes from those who would use their positions to profit and harm the majority under those positions of power. It seems to grow until it seems to reach such a level of entrenchment it shuts out those who would use such positions to slow down and stop their schemes. Finally the masses have enough, blood spills (on a lot of innocents sadly) and things change temporarily as these schemers regroup and begin exploring for more cracks.
Give a man power and he will reveal his character. This will be available for as long as humans will live on Earth. Power can corrupt a weak character. We see it daily with average people. A slight feeling of superiority from somebody towards the other and bam... The games begin. No wonder politics reflect the masses. Not even average Joe can be nice when being more in power... It will take a lot of crash and burn for society to create a new prototype of human. A human who will perceive power as it trully is: an extension of the will of the masses for the common well being. An instrument of good not of greed. A forever shifting element which belongs to all and to no one. The progress of the mind in the spirit of collective good is the hardest to achieve.
