Many senators opposed the plan of boundary expansion to Habsburg (the contemporary Austria and Germany) but to Julius Cesar, the success brought glory to Roman Empire. Eventually he succeeded as the Latinic saying "veni, vedi, vici" (I came, I saw I won") he uttered upon the triumph had been embedded in the pack of world class fine cigarette, Marlboro. Julius Cesar was a powerful figure of his time and he therefore was a power-driven.
Although that happened long way back to 400 B.C, human desire, passion and enthusiasm never expire. Instead, they are all the living-things that never cease to exist. Power for instance is a sort of entity to control over anything including humans. Since the day we born, it was the power by which our nationality and citizenship had been determined for any nations without power has no such those duo, de facto of patriotism.
Interestingly, power has been manipulated in accordance to situation. "Lu power beb! Bos memang respect sama lu," as the saying at my office goes on. How do we construe such saying since it is repetitively uttered on the daily basis. So my colleagues and myself are powerful yet it only be as it is if we strive for it.
Power turns somebody into different outlook. That is why I wonder Allah calls us to go after The Night of Power as it is better than doing good deeds in 1,000 months. The searching has been ongoing since it comes to my knowledge yet till this writting is up, hopefully I happened to be in it. Ameen!
