Some call it delusions of grandeur while others call it megalomania. Why does ultra wealth and power cause people to become so evil and many times secretly depraved? So obsessed with controlling everyone and increasing their already ridiculous amount of power and wealth. Many descending into worlds of secret perversions and immoral behavior you often hear about in the news headlines.
John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton ,the historian and moralist, wrote the following quote in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”
Another English politician William Pitt said something similar, in a speech to the UK House of Lords in 1770:
“Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it”
How and why does wealth and the power it brings corrupt? Note that most with power are wealthy or become wealthy once elected to office due to working the system illegally. Simply put the conditions of a great amount of power create a simulated state of premature Godhood. The mind of even the smartest human is a pathetically microscopic speck compared to the mind of our soul which contains all the memories and experiences of all our near infinite lives in the near infinite Universes we exist in. It not only lacks the knowledge to handle real power but all the emotional growth and empathy to manage such power so as not to bring harm to others.
When we obtain Godhood in the afterlife we will be able to handle the awesome power and responsibility of creating our own Universes and sentient beings because we will have lived every life from the worst to the best. Therefore we will have sympathy and be able to feel empathy for everyone due to going through what they went through. We have all experienced being poor, going hungry, being a minority, being handicapped, being exploited by the megalomaniacs of the world, and so much more. By knowing how horrible that is and realizing everyone is an equal feeling sentient person, because we all have shared the same negative experiences, we will not cause harm to them. We will be far better people than we ever could be just living one limited life here.
So assuming that not all of these wealthy power elite have evil souls then their megalomania and immoral lifestyles are a mental disease brought about by their limited minds inability to cope with the power they acquired or inherited at birth. Their narrow tunnel vision lives have not prepared them to be Gods and their thoughts of omnipotence and superiority over everyone else is deeply delusional, disturbing, and down right dangerous to us all. This is particularly true for the global banking and international corporate power players of this planet who control governments behind the scenes and empower our elected leaders to become even more corrupt than they already are. It’s safe to say that this planet has so much evil, poverty, and crime due to this small strata of people who selfishly rule us all just to satisfy their sick need for material wealth, power, and control over everyone they believe they have dominion over. The ultimate fight for freedom on this planet may come in the form of a revolution someday where people finally wake up and realize the ultra wealthy elite are the ones responsible for the sorry state of this Earth. That we all have a common enemy and our petty problems and differences(race, politics, nationality, sex, religion,etc.) are merely distractions encouraged by the mainstream media they own as their own propaganda machine. Stop letting these mentally unstable people rule over your life by seeing them and your reality for what they really are!
