Power Addiction
"There are many kinds of addiction. But all addicts are the same. They are all insatiable, irresponsible and predictable. They always want something more. They do anything to satisfy their craving. They use anybody for their gain. They are all sick."
Wealth & Power...Assets or Addictions
"Years ago I was an addictions psychologist working with homeless persons on New York's Bowery, and later in Boston.
As time went on, I began to compile a list of the addictions and compulsions of the surrounding so-called "successful" society. It was then began to realize that wealth & power addiction was similar to alcoholism and other addictions on my list. The symptoms included increasing desire for more and more of the substance, denial, harm to family members, compulsive loyalty and secrecy, impaired thinking, decline in the quality of life, and powerlessness in the face of the addiction."
