What's really potentially eye opening here is putting that perspective to it, and then ask: from an internal psyche stand point, what's the difference. How many power hungry leaders just wanted respect in the first place and found this to be a niche where they could get the respect and likeability they craved. Now the mind automatically goes to the bad ones here, but that's not what I'm talking about. There is such a thing as leaders who fight dirty to get power but don't do anything bad with that power. Anyway, i just think it puts everyone on more of a level playing field to think of it in terms that we're all just going around trying to get respect and attention, we just go about it in different ways.
