“What thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because I do it with a petty ship, I am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor.”

“The weak die out and the strong will survive, and will live on forever”

Isn't that the truth. It is as if the ones in power believe in one philosophy on human life, while the ones without power believe more in equality.

Unfortunately humans show that acquiring power over other people changes your outlook on them as well, and you start to look out how to keep the power, rather than how to use it to the betterment of everyone.
