Why do autocrats, tyrants, emperors, and dictators seek ruthlessly power, wealth, and fame? Because they are insecure human beings. Most likely, none were not loved not enough, if at all, during their earliest of years, so they compensated unconsciously for this terrible deprivation. Instead of becoming leaders who lift others up, they became oppressors. Instead of caring for those without, they aggrandized to try to fill the emptiness in themselves.  They could not realize what and why they were doing. Oppressors are actually scared. They are frightened of the emotional abyss at their center, but unable to feel it consciously. Instead of giving, they take absolute power, gargantuan wealth. and fame, which is actually infamy. They are not happy. They are not fulfilled. But they are noticed, and worse, like a raging forest fire that consumes and destroys everything and everyone in its path. If one is not loved, one eventually will hate and reify both the sadness and cruelty of their soul.
