What Plato said about DANGERS of Power! 🤯 | STOICISM

Plato once said, "The measure of a man is what he does with power." Power reveals our true character, it doesn’t shape it. It exposes whether we use influence for good or selfish gain, showing our integrity and virtues in action.

Wealth and fame seem to undermine empathy and induce feelings of grandeur. How bad it gets depends on the individual I suppose. Few if any appear immune. It's a sad indictment of our species.
