How can we trust ourselves with powers? Power is a very descriptive terminology. Can you please elaborate with what respect to are you referring it with.
Can you trust yourself without power?
Actually the trustfulness is more related to the mental state of person than the power.
Power just gave the opportunity to do [good or bad].
Mental state [intention] of the person should be considered for trust worthiness.
It is like, sometimes I feel, I have devil deep within me. And, it is then, that I'm afraid, that I can make bad things happen to people.
It isn't power that corrupts men, its men who corrupt power
Probably we all live on the planet where ethically "trust should have been the power".
But due to some unmanageable and unavoidable circumstances. We all hail in the kingdom where power generates the trust!
so if we absorb this fact that we live in the practical world.we can trust ourselves to the fullest if we have the ultimate power.
