"权力越大滥用就越危险"

Edmund Burke

Simplified Meaning:

When someone has a lot of control or influence, the harm they can cause if they misuse their power is much greater. Imagine a teacher who is very strict. If they are fair and kind, they can help students learn a lot. But if they decide to be mean and unfair, they can make the students feel scared or worthless. A real-life example would be a country's leader. If they use their power wisely, they can make decisions that help the people live better lives. But if they become corrupt or make selfish choices, they can cause suffering and create big problems for the country. This idea reminds us to be careful about who we give power to and to watch how they use it. For anyone with authority, like a boss or a parent, it's important to act responsibly and think about how their actions affect others.
