As they say, with great power, comes great responsibilities but these super powers only feel responsible towards themselves. They forget that we are living in an ecosystem where everything is delicately tied together either directly or indirectly. The state of world politics is at the worst ever this world has seen. United Nations, the organization meant to protect the interest of all countries big and small is tied up in the arms race itself. If you look at the countries in the UN Security Council, all of them are the Top manufacturers and ultimately sellers of weapons. Weapons being one of the most expensive commodity, it doesn't take too much to imagine the conflict of interest. The agency that is supposed to provide a sense of security in the whole world, sells weapons of mass destructions during their free time. When you think about it, it's not a big surprise that Killers like Maoists are now in forefront of Nepali politics. So much good can be done with the help of money and power. But it's always used against mankind. The great contradiction likes in the fact that only those who are greedy for money and power can attain such a position, and once they attain it, they want more. Instead of using it for the good of others they will use it to amass more money and more power. There is a need to be better than everyone, bigger stronger than everyone else. That is the unfortunate side effect of capitalism. Even if you look back at our countries politics, look at King G. He had so much power and money. When i decided to take control of the country, he could have done so much good by slowly diseminating power and money, but instead, he put a killer on his government, hoping that he would become more powerful. And look what that got him. There will be hundreds of more incidents like those where powerful people seek to become more powerful at the expense of innocent people's lives which are deemed valueless instead of priceless as it should be. After all a human life is priceless. We are not in the jungle age where we have to hunt other human beings for food. We can always find our own food by using the untold resources in the world without having to kill a priceless life.
