The problem is this bereft-of-responsibility use of power leads to its abuse. The "whim" part of my post was sarcasm as far as the moral considerations in assumption of power are concerned. :) TC.Ketanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550919415154842291.post-59513826230638535102009-12-28T20:30:17.147+05:302009-12-28T20:30:17.147+05:30*they Learn a Lesson*they Learn a LessonSrishtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700351745397925533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550919415154842291.post-68006714737429498322009-12-28T20:29:48.556+05:302009-12-28T20:29:48.556+05:30Yes he was the villain's son...also Spidey'...Yes he was the villain's son...also Spidey's best friend! <br /> <br />Okay, about this post. From what I can make out after watching all the superhero movies-<br />People accept Great Power on a whim; they back out when they realize Great Responsibility.<br />But they come back after the Learn a Lesson and learn that without them, the world is doomed.Srishtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700351745397925533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550919415154842291.post-62881184405494153602009-12-24T17:07:03.164+05:302009-12-24T17:07:03.164+05:30Pankaj,
Welcome to the blog! And thanks for quest...<b>Pankaj,</b><br /><br />Welcome to the blog! And thanks for questioning and resisting brainwashing! ;)<br /><br />Responsibility that comes bundled with power can be imposed by at least three different sources - either alone or in concert:<br /><br /><b>1.</b> The legal binding and the threat of punitive action along with assumption of positions of power.<br /><br /><b>2.</b> Societal codes and the fear of ridicule and ostracization they might induce.<br /><br /><b>3.</b> One's moral conscience.<br /><br />Of course, one or all the three (and others that might exist) sources might fail. That's why taking up the said responsibility ends up looking like its taking up is 'elective'. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting, too! :D<br /><br />Take care.Ketanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550919415154842291.post-16985118115601989322009-12-23T05:10:59.336+05:302009-12-23T05:10:59.336+05:30where does the responsibility come from? who hands...where does the responsibility come from? who hands it down?Pankajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202778401351451175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550919415154842291.post-25391416159945937972009-12-22T02:08:23.172+05:302009-12-22T02:08:23.172+05:30@ Niti:

But then that power-responsibility quote is so very famous, anyway!<br /><br />Yes, Spiderman is not the best looking person. I don't remember who Harry was. Seriously. Was he one of the villain's son?<br /><br />What do you think of <b>THIS</b> post?!! :P<br /><br />TC.Ketanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550919415154842291.post-85041852906152813102009-12-21T18:23:02.668+05:302009-12-21T18:23:02.668+05:30Oohh, you finally watched Spiderman?
