Power without Love is Dangerous

Man longs for power. He acquires it in different ways. One way to acquire power is to be Economically well off to keep the poor under one's control. The Powerful invariably exploit the weak. The latter dare not to defy the former. It also applies to Nations as well. Economically and technologically developed nations have the temerity to fall upon the weak and the underdeveloped. The developed nations have an eye upon the natural resources of the underdeveloped. Power intoxicate individuals as well as nations, which begin to show their muscles of strength. In this process, no consideration is given to moral principles. Nations maybe professing religious values, but at the time of committing aggression, they trample upon the moral values. United States, at the time of throwing atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, didn't realize the horrible consequences of atomic explosion. America wanted to break the back of the Japanese. It exercised power without any consideration of love. Power and morality are poles apart. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) brought about a revolution of love, which swept across Arabia. Hazrat Umar, who was all-powerful was not without love. He delivered a bag of flour to a lady, having carried it on his own back, whose children were crying for food. If countries...big or small, were to have the leadership of this type, many problems would have been resolved amicably. Power accompanied by love, can help overcome many problems in the world. Power without love, is like a sharp-edged weapon which can cut human being into pieces. Thus, Power should not be deprived of love.
