“It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.”
This quote is a masterpiece! Not only does it look good but I captures the military government's way of ruling and in here own quote Aung Sang Suu Kyi is the scourge of power and the Junta are afraid of her as they are the have power and fear for losing it. The Junta must also see her as corruption to the people because the people of Burma are subject to her speeches. Her own words could be turned against her but even the Junta won't do that to her. Sure they might lock her up for fifteen years but they would never turn the entire country against her, and why? Because she is the scourge of power and if they go against her she will bring her full will to bear and woe betide any who is subject to it. This one saying could undo all that she has worked for if played right but they can't because they are scared. Its called being gun shy and that is why she is still spreading her influence to take control of the Junta and have peace in her country and I believe that she will succeed. Whether it be tomorrow or not until the end of the world, she will succeed in her long journey to freedom and love.
