Aphrodisiac

Power is a great aphrodisiac.

But why? We know the famous and bizarre.

But why? This man answered, "Because I could."

Paradox was powerful once, in a big fish in small pond sort of way.

There was electrical static, effervescent glance and hormanal oozing. Yes, involuntary swelling accompanied adrenaline powered motion through busy pressured quotidian. Yes, there were remarkable, unsolicited, (and unrequieted) revelations: stretchings and reachings for uppermost shelved file .

And yes, later swimming as paradoxical minnow, power gone = electricity unplugged.

Ergo ego restored to humble normality.

Pleasant puritan Paradox was not pliantly pushed from purity. But why does this often happen?

Is it the selfish gene?
