Russian Roulette I’ve been thinking a lot about how power changes people — especially in politics.
Sometimes it feels like power transforms a person completely. Other times, it seems like it just removes the mask and shows who they really were all along.
In many stories about leaders, dictators, or even fictional worlds, there’s often this moment where someone crosses a line — and there’s no going back.
Do you think power actually changes a person, or does it simply expose what was already inside them?
I’m really curious how others see this — especially from books you’ve read.
