"我们知道没有人会在掌握权力时意图放弃它。"
— George Orwell
Simplified Meaning:
When people gain control or authority, they usually want to keep it rather than give it up. Think about a child who finally gets the toy they've been wanting for a long time. Once they have the toy, they are very reluctant to share it with others or give it back. This is similar to how individuals or groups act when they get power. For example, many leaders in history have done everything they could to stay in control, sometimes even using force or changing rules to maintain their position. The advice here is to be aware that those in power often seek to hold onto it, and this can affect their decisions. Understanding this can help you see why some leaders act the way they do and why it can be hard to make changes in systems controlled by powerful people. Knowing this can make you more aware of the challenges involved in creating fair and just societies.
