    It seems to me like you should try and acquire great enough power that you can help all those you can and punish all those who do you wrong; or who do the world wrong. Take control of the world and rule it; with a virtue without which terror would be grim, and terror without which virtue would be powerless.

    I’m also trying to do that, but there can be only one. See you at the top!

      Very demonstrably the majority of people would rather commit self harm than vote for moral people who know what they’re doing.

          If you want to take power with violence then you are exactly the type of person who should never have any form of power.

                Oh no, without the power of friendship I am forced to begin a villain arc, which will only end in me conquering the world with te power of hatred. Or being killed by a hero while trying. Or being confronted by a hero, but instead of killing me he tells me a speech about how he’s just like me and he keeps having flashbacks of a swing and then I am convinced to die heroically or something.
