THE USE OF POWER

Hello my fellow Hivers, I hope we are good. Earlier today I was in a taxi going for a program. While moving a man stopped the vehicle as well, the bus stopped and carried him not knowing he is a police man although he was not on uniform.
While going, when we got to his bus stop for him to Alight and pay. The next thing he said was he does not have money to pay. The vehicle conductor got provoked and was consistently requesting for the money saying if the man is not paying he is not going.
Then the police man said he is a police officer and not paying , immediately the driver and the vehicle conductor heard the word, they got more provoked and was ready to cause a scene. But people in the vehicle decided to contribute and let it slide.
Well! long story short someone else paid the police man's fee and the police man was left alone.
I am sure we could see the use of power there in the little story i shared.

Power has been what a lot of people want to acquire in other to control people.
There are three categories of power
Which are;

The physical power :The physical power is the ability a man has to do extra ordinary things. This kind of power is applicable in our every day life eg whenever we are lifting up objects, whenever we are walking, whenever we are eating. etc
There is always a power that drive such activity.

The political power:This power is a governmental body of power acquired in other to gain authority. This power has been what majority of political leaders want to acquire and that is the main aim of joining politics.

spiritual powerThis is the power acquired from the spiritual world. This category of power is different from the listed above. Because one can have political and physical power without the spiritual power. The spiritual power helps spiritually and physically.

Power has been a great advantage not until people start misusing it. I could remember then in high school. There was a boy in my class that barely talk and does his things on his own although he got friends but he is most times inside himself. Meanwhile there are some guys there in my class as well all because they are tall and bold enough. They bully the other boy because he has no manpower to go against them. The bullies made high school tough for the boy not until we other class mates started interfering.

Just like I said in my first example. A lot of political and spiritual leaders with power misuse the opportunity.
The misuse of power has been a big problem to the society as a whole

There has only been one way of which we can avoid the abuse of power which is to speak up. Although it won't be easy standing up against someone in possession of power. But it is worth a shot at, because that is the best way to ambush abuse of power without lots of casualties.
The Person in possession of power can also go about doing consistent review in other not to misuse such power.

Thanks for reading through my blog

Power in the wrong hands can destroy a nation and in the right hands will prosper a nation.

It takes the grace of God and self descipline to overcome, the bad influence power can have over us.

Thanks for sharing this Masterpiece with us.

The abuse of power is mostly done by the cruel and selfish ones who thinks they can bypass others with their powers and just as you have said, we need to speak up. We all have our rights to speak and defend ourselves. There is no height people won´t go to be in power and once they are there, they abuse and misuse power but one thing I know is that they can never be there forever.

Everyone seeks power, wether for control like politically or for possession financially.

Anyone that has power has a say, but mare man is nothing and has nothing to offer...
But abusing of that power will then cause damage to the society at large. And mostly, power is being abused because of finance, lack of contentment...

Nice post bro
