Arrogance in the administration of power always tends to bring the opposite of the desired effect. If you strive for abundance so single-mindedly that you alienate those close to you, you will find yourself left holding an empty bag in the end. Too bad. Holding power is like carrying a large torch in a sea of candles; the more the flame is passed to others, the greater the odds that the torch itself can be reignited should the flame die out.
