Does power corrupt, or is it only the corrupt who seek power?

This could lead us to a big discussion, so, i'll just leave this here:

It's an ugly truth, it's a cynical view.....but, unfortunately, tends to be real.

As for, who came first, well...it's like asking who came first, the chicken or the egg.
There are good people that want to do the right thing that get corrupted when they realize how things really work or/and they are not allowed to do what they want and need; and there are sociopaths that just want power to do whatever they want and rule over others.

Many say that money is the root of all evil, well, it's not...power is, since money is power in our messed up society.
Money without power is meaningless when it comes to evil.
Wanting to rule over others, that's the root of all evil.

And we can trace back all that to religion....that's was the source of all evil, which is ironic since it's main motif is to be against it, which can easily be explained since no one would follow something that is not good for you - it's a false flag.
And before anyone goes saying that religion is great...no it isn't; faith and religion are two totally different things.
Faith is personal, religion is man made and was created with the sole propose of control.

There are good teaching that came out of it, but as an all....it's our greatest problem, humanity's biggest deception.
For starters, it made us look to something for salvation, instead of looking at ourselves for it.
The idea that God exists and want us to worship him is ridiculous.

BTW, this could be moved to Community Forum. It's a great discussion but not really only about politics.
