Do you think with thirst for power, wealth and corruption we can make the world a better place?

There are just people who have thirst for power, corruption and anything bad but if we stand up for these whole things and make a change, just like the song "Man in the Mirror" is telling, then we can still make this world a better place.

It's impossible to make the world a better place without power and wealth.

There are many reasons why making the world a better place is impossible. One reason is that we have access to power. Power allows us to get what we want, when we want, and without any rules or rules of law. It is a powerful tool because we can control the world. We can make the world a place where people are happy with just power and nothing else.

Another reason making the world a better place is impossible is because we have people who have access to power and write the law. People with power give themselves more power and make the world where people can't make the decisions they want. People with power also can't control the world as much as they want because the world is controlled by people with power.

The thirst for power and wealth can be a good thing depending on the text It comes in. Corruption on the other hand is never a  good thing. Take a good look at what corruption has done to the world especially in the government and public sectors of countries. 

For instance, in my country, because of corruption. People in the higher ranking of government siphon public funds for their personal acquisition because they have the power to do that. They are above the law and that is all shades of wrong. 

Funds That could have been otherwise used for basic amenities, education, job creation and general development of the nation goes the the pockets of a handful of people. 

What happened to using all that power and wealth to do the good things that matter to humanity.

No, I do not. That is what all the problem is about now. Greed. Too many big businesses, governments, and others are greedy and they feel that money is power. They don't need to follow the rules because money can always buy their way out of trouble.

Where I live it is the same. We had one President here on our islands for 25 years until he made the big mistake, his head was too large, and he lost the election to an independent who wanted to free our islands from France. All the big and wonderful talk and in the end all he cared about was taking the airlines from here, using our money, and bringing his staff with him to go play golf around the world at the most luxurious golf courses. All of this was first class including the hotel and all the meals they ate. This guy promised so much and the people believed him. In the end the greed of the office, the money he could use went to his head like so many before him. Furthermore, the greed and corruption he had almost destroyed our economy and to make up for it everything here that is controlled by our government was raised beyond belief. We are already paying $3.45 a liter for gas and he decided to raise this to $5.95. It didn't stop there, our electricity, gas for cooking, and even food in our markets was raised so high that the poor people were going hungry because they couldn't afford to eat any longer. It was nice when the 5 years was up and we got him out of office. 

Greed and power can't make things better. Once a person gets a taste of this they want more. They gain it all and we lose everything.

I don't think the things you mentioned will lead to successful better world. People don't get satisfied when it comes to money .They become more greedy , and find more ways to earn money .

They don't even look they are doing right or wrong .Choose bad ways to earn money because of all greedy .Over all this does more bad than good to the world with all greedy ones ,who always strive for power.

You are connecting bad things (thirst for power, wealth and corruption) with a good thing (the world a better place) and asking whether we can make it! Is it possible? Have you ever heard that a bad thing has led to good? Thirst for power, desire for wealth and more wealth with corruption is only ruining the world and people's life. In such a scenario, it is never ever possible.

Actually if you put it the way you have it really looks bad. But again that is what is going on in many countries nowadays. All this bad things put together are what is happening in our countries. We may not like it but its happening. The truth is, there is definitely nothing good that can come out of this, unless we get rid of them then we can have a good and better life.

The thirst for power, wealth and corruption can only lead to fighting and wars. Countries with strong legal system ensure that these things do not exist in order not put the country into turmoil. Weak countries exhibit these qualities and the result is fighting within.

It is obviously not. If people continue to do these things, world peace cannot be attained. It is ideal to have reformation. But it is not easy to do this.

Not at all the gees for accumulating massive wealth at the expense of the poor is oppression and the thirst for more money will lead to vices such as stealing of public funds. It can never lead to a better life to citizens but misery and poverty.

Never. Let is built up on a setting of relationships. That is why God never gave anyone of us everything because by then they would not have the need for another's input hence no relationship. With everyone craving only for their selfish gain and satisfaction, the world cannot in this way become a better place.

  The earth does produce enough resources for every man's need but never for every man's greed

Power and wealth actually can help better the society if in the hands of the right person, but in the hands of the wrong person, corruption and oppression come's in.

Yes, but we will need to remove the type of people that thirst for power and will be corrupt to get it. These people are actually the enemy of the world and all the people in it.

You also need to identify these types of people. It is usually the most corrupt that is calling their opponent corrupt the loudest. Go by people's actions and do not follow their words like blind sheep.

No, I do not think that thirst for power, wealth, and corruption can make the world a better place. In fact, these things can often lead to more inequality, conflict, and corruption. In order to make the world a better place, we need to focus on creating equitable systems that promote fairness and justice, and ensure that everyone is able to access the resources they need to thrive.

The pursuit of power and wealth can have both positive and negative impacts on the world, depending on how these pursuits are conducted and their broader implications. Here are considerations for both sides:

**Positive Impacts:**

1. **Economic Development:** The quest for wealth can drive economic activities, leading to job creation, technological advancements, and overall economic growth.

2. **Innovation and Progress:** The pursuit of power and influence can drive individuals and societies to innovate, explore new ideas, and contribute to scientific and technological progress.

3. **Philanthropy:** Individuals or organizations amassing wealth may engage in philanthropy, contributing to social causes, humanitarian efforts, and community development.

**Negative Impacts:**

1. **Inequality:** An unchecked pursuit of wealth and power can contribute to economic inequality, which may lead to social tensions and disparities in access to resources and opportunities.

2. **Environmental Impact:** The quest for wealth, particularly in resource-intensive industries, can have detrimental effects on the environment, leading to pollution, deforestation, and climate change.

3. **Corruption:** An intense pursuit of power can sometimes lead to corrupt practices, undermining the integrity of institutions and eroding public trust.

4. **Social Disruption:** Extreme disparities in power and wealth can lead to social unrest, conflicts, and challenges to political stability.

In summary, while the quest for power and wealth can drive positive developments, it's essential to consider the ethical and sustainable dimensions of these pursuits. Responsible and ethical approaches, coupled with a commitment to social and environmental responsibility, can contribute to making the world a better place. Balancing personal or organizational goals with a consideration for the broader well-being of society is key to fostering positive outcomes.
