After getting headache differentiating the words "drank" and "drunk" ( I seriously need to go back to school and study subject and verb agreement again) I was intoxicated with a naughty idea. After contemplating on the matter and rigorous analysis on situations I witnessed, I am sure that a person drunk with power is far more dangerous than a person drunk with alcoholic beverages.
How far does powerful person willing to go to hold on to their power? There are people out there who were bestowed with the power to rule but never take it into heart but rather let it dominate their mind. Boasting like the world would never end and that universe conspire for their benefit alone.

Who said that only alcoholic beverages have the capacity to intoxicate people's mind?
You better think twice
at a first glance, i thought that you got drunk and you blogged about it. hehe.
ReplyDeletebut yes, being drunk with power is more dangerous than being drunk with beverages. ^_^
power is indeed more dangerous...lalo na kung maling tao pa ang meron or naghahangad nito....
ReplyDeletehmmm.. mas dangerous din ba yun sa kalusugan ng nakararami? :)))
The good thing about being drunk is that we forget about our inhibitions. Pero syempre, merong mga downside kapag sobrang kalasingan. hihi..
ReplyDeleteGetting wasted because of alcohol, you wake up the next morning with a dreadful hangover, pero bumabalik ka sa matinong pagiisip mo. :p
Now being drunk with power, there's nothing good about it. People who are drunk with power should be behind bars.. problema nga lang, they also have the power to get out of it. pfft!
oh gawd. after seeing the picture of bottles of vodka cruiser. i feel like drinking some haha anyway..i can only agree sis. being intoxicated with power is really dangerous cause unlike being drunk with alcoholic beverages, you cannot tell when will the "intoxication" last. or can you really do something to removed it from your system?
ReplyDeleteYes, power intoxicated people are more dangerous. They tend to be selfish and inconsiderate about others, willing to do everything (even stepping on others), just to get what they want.
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, I somehow like the feeling of being drunk. I feel lighter, less careful, and more happy. Though it gives me severe headache in the morning, at least I've lost myself in happiness the night before. Hahaha.
yeah it's so true. when you are intoxicated with great power, you believed that you are the mightiest person on earth. your ego boost and surpasses your self. that's what our country is facing right now. a problem that only great people could do.
ReplyDeleteito ang di ko pa na try ang malasing ng tudo para maniwala akong nawawala ang katinuan ng isang tao sa espiritu ng alcohol. kasi nalasing na ako pero alam ko pa rin lahat ng mga nangyayari sa paligid.Maliban na lang kung makatulog ka sa kalasingan.
ReplyDeletehindi kaya dahilan lang ito ng mga lasing para matangap ang kung ano man ang gawin nilang di magawa pag di nakainum
ahhh... you're so right!
ReplyDeleteAs the old saying goes, Power corrupts...
ReplyDeleteHayz, I don't know what it is with power - some people easily gets drunk with it! And when this happens grabe na sa power trip, grrr. May galit ba? Parang may kilalang ganito? Haha
ReplyDeleteButi na lang sa pagiging lasing with alcohol, after the hangover you'll go back to your old self....
It only takes a night to shake off the effects of alcohol. But somehow who is drunk with power is too delusional to even know there's something wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteI abhor people like that. They stomp on other people just so they can feel mightier. And the problem with this country? Most of our politicians are drunk with power. What's even worse is that pati mga tao sa government sectors ganun din. Minsan maski simpleng teacher may ganyang problema..
They forget na being a leader is being everybody's servant.

ReplyDeleteOnce lang ako nalasing at hindi na mauulit, sakit lang sa ulo. Lasing sa power?!? Mahirap yun, hindi lumilipas, sa ulo pa ang tama, hayss...painumin kaya natin sila ng alak, nakakapagpalimot daw yun eh, baka sakaling makalimot sila. :D
ReplyDeleteI've only been drunk a few times, and those times were the most unpleasant ones I've ever had. I guess that's why I tend to avoid alcohol no matter what happens.
ReplyDeleteYou are very wise in this post. A person drunk with power is much more dangerous than a person drunk on alcohol.
ReplyDeleteGreat post ganda! This is so damn right <3
ReplyDeleteKala ko may inuman dito! Sino ba pinapatamaan mo? hehehe! I know sa pulitika maraming drunk with power!
ReplyDeletenice blog hon...
ReplyDeletekung magpapakalasing ako.. gusto ko magpakalasing dahil sa saya.. hindi dahil sa lungkot.. I rememebr .. a friend of mine said.. "Ang pag-inom ay para lang sa taong masasaya.. hindi para sa taong malungkot".. GODDAMN... tinamaan ako.... lasheng na ata ako...
ReplyDeletegetting drunk of something means passing the moderated and tolerable level - see what our the wise men say about anything that's too much? Lahat daw ng sobra ang masama :)
ReplyDeletestart getting drunk with alcohol - an alcoholic may be born and destroy himself or then his home
start getting drunk with power - a dictator may be born and destroy a nation and then himself.
Spanish Pinay
I thought you got drunk and did stupid things..
ReplyDeleteWell I totally agree that people drunk with power are worst than people drunk with alcohol. People drunk with alcohol can still allow their conscience to control them but people drunk with power can easily ignore their conscience and follow their evil thoughts...
when we're drunk, we tend to do things that we have no idea that we are actually doing it, bad bad bad an mxdong maglasing, hehe

Hay tama ka sis. Tapos, pag drunk na sila. Wala na silang paki kung nakakasakit na sila, or below the belt na yung mga banat nila. Same na same nga. Drunk with alcohol and power. Iba lang yung level ng kasamaan ng mga bagay na ginagawa nila.
ReplyDeleteNaglipana talaga ang mga hayok sa kapangyarihan
ReplyDeleteAkala mo'y maaamong tupa sa simula pa lamang
Masasarap pakinggang mga talumpati
Mapanghimok na puro masasayang pagbati
Walang sawang pakikipagkamayan
Kay init kung makipagyakapan
Maya't maya ay pinagkakaguluhan
Aba ang loko may inaabot sa mga pobre,
Hala ano yan, makakapal na sobre?!
Ayos pa sa simula, lahat ng batikos at panayam ay di inaatrasan
Ngunit ng manalo nahagilap mo ba naman?
Hayun kahit sensiridad na pagpapasalamat di kinakitaan
Utang na loob ba ikamo?
Naku, taong bayan umasa ka pa lalo
Gagawin at gagawin kung ano ang uso
Walang pinagkaiba sa mga trapo
Pinagbiyak na bunga, kakambal ang pagiging kuropto!
Sana'y alak di nalang naimbento
Para wala ng nalalasing pagkat perwisyo
Buti sana kung ikauunlad ng bawat tao
Kaso'y ito lamang ay isang masamang bisyo
Sino naman kaya ang talo?
Ikaw ba o ako?
Ikaw. Ako. Tayo, tayong lahat ang nagsasakripisyo.
Bansa natin, lubog sa utang wala pang asenso.
Bow. Hehe. Tinagalog ko nalang (hirap kasi kung english) dinaan ko na sa tula para maiba naman basta yan ang interpretasyon ko abt sa entry mo. Following you thru GFC nga pala..
