From the realms of absolute power : Why I am not God

The concept of absolute power has never really been physically demonstrated on the human earth ... history has proven that power, no matter how much or strong, has always been contested on almost every level. Men in the likes of Genghis Khan, Alexander the great, Adolf Hitler, etc were powerful rulers who enjoyed overwhelming approval ratings. However, even at the peak of their rule, they never had a 100% hold on power as something or someone always stood in the way. In the human mind, the only person mostly thought to have absolute and incontestable power is a being referred to as "God".

Absolute power and authority is believed by most to be in the the hands of "God" or a "God" like being. It is also believed that from the perspective of God, all things are seen and every mystery is solved. One is very quickly tempted to wonder who exactly God is and what is His or Her exact location. Men like Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler etc went crazy with power that was nothing close to absolute and proved very clearly that man must not be left unchecked. Thus If i was God, I would probably make Stalin look like mother Theresa ... Thank God I am not him ... Should anyone actually seek to be God or have God like powers ? .... I vote no .... Mans selfish, evil and animalistic tendencies tend to almost always override any sense of rationality or balanced thinking, and if left to run wild, will destroy, oppress and ruin anything that does not eat, sleep and think like him .... And the reward for the most savage animals of planet earth incontestably goes to; you probably guessed it already ....

The level of intoxication in the realms of absolute power will make a man getting off his twentieth shot of la fée verte(absinthe) look as sober as a judge. Power may be brutal and dangerous, but absolute power is lethal and deadly. No person should be God or try to have God like powers as there is none so powerful, so wise, and so rational to be able to take the fate of another person into his hands. In the thoughts of Henry miller, the best a person can do is to restore to others, the belief in personal guidance.
