I have a nagging suspicion that those who pursue the drive
to rule others are, in so doing, expressing some deep seated insecurity. I have
reasons for thinking as much, both observational and from personal experience.
If I’m right, it would seem that all those infamous,
self-made historical tyrants – Alexander, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Genghis Khan,
Margaret Thatcher – were actually deeply insecure people. And I suppose the
great granddaddy of them all would have to be God. Ah... but... God, as the concept is
usually perceived, probably doesn’t exist, so that would say something about
people’s need to be ruled, wouldn't it?
Next question.
