Take work for example. When my boss is having a bad day, everyone has a bad day, because he has the power to make it so. I cannot do any work without his approval, and any work that I do end up doing ends up adding to his stress pile and causes stress fallout. All we can do is wait for him to walk into his office, look at each other with scared faces, and reassure one another that it is he who is crazy and not all of us. However at the end of the day, no matter what, he is right. Well, either he is right or we are out of a job.
My boss is not a bad man, he is simply one in a high position with too much work on his plate. Should he share his power with someone else, everyone's lives would be improved by the decrease in anxiety. It's amazing how much sway one man has over the lives of many, and this is only a tiny microcosm of the world as a whole.
With great power comes great responsibility. Rock on, Spider-Man, rock on.
