Many individuals possess an inclination to feel superior by degrading others, often seeking satisfaction from witnessing others' misfortunes instead of celebrating their successes. This desire for power is tied to a negative human impulse that can manifest in harmful behaviors, such as treating others poorly for personal amusement. In contrast, true power can be understated and does not require outward display; it often reflects in supportive actions and the ability to uplift others without the need for recognition. The juxtaposition of these two impulses highlights the unfortunate reality of human nature, where some derive pleasure from exerting control over others.
