Well I would have to disagree everyone that is rich follows that path. But money is addictive. What it can buy is addictive.
But Greed, with a capital G, is another beast entirely. The wanting of money just for wanting of it is sick.
As for the Power, it is not quite the same. Power is a problem with Pride. I deserve the power becomes their motivating factor.
Where I am going with this is, people that I have just described are Sociopaths.
Antisocial Personality Disorder is also known as psychopathy or
sociopathy. Individuals with this disorder have little regard for the
feeling and welfare of others.
List of characteristics
narcissism this one I added to this list, and I think Hitler and someone else we know suffers from this
not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulses
lack of moral sense
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishment
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centeredness
Pretty much describes most politicians and the super rich.
