No, my point was what Galadriel says about the Second Kindred, the Men: "above all else, desire power."
That is so true.
In my ideal world there would be an absolute ruler of unimpeachable benevolence who would never succumb to the desire for power or the enjoyment of cruelty, This is of course impossible. But we could get so many problems fixed.

There's the rub. We are both realists; wish in one hand and crap in the other and we know which hand fills faster. Conflict over power is always claimed to be good vs. evil, but it turns out to be us vs. them where good guys is not an absolute.
I think that the best that we can do is limit the power that those in power enjoy.
