Power, politics, and fiery passion

What's the common feature among Dominique Strauss-Kahn (IMF chief), Moshe Katsav (Former Israeli president), and Jacob Zuma (South African president)? They all are powerful politicians charged with sexual assault. So, why the most powerful people in the world seriously fall from grace when it comes to sexual morality? Do they think power can negotiate the indefensible? There is a larger context to the sexual escapades of high and mighty in the annals of history, but from a human psychological perspectives, the power or position of a person can't transform the hidden testosterone quotient to a more constructive force in human psyche for a person of higher moral order.

The sexual aberration in men springs from the very carnal nature of animal instinct, which can be compared with a scenario like a tiger attacking a lone deer. A tiger normally applies its bestial force to justify its position in jungle, without any fear for repercussion. Similarly, a powerful man always believes in his extended reach and weight of his position to counter the aftereffect. However, no powerful man can ever live in a state of illusion that his immoral act can be buried under his nose.

We are living in a civil society where any amount of social aberration can be frowned up and be rejected by people. A false sense of megalomania derived from one's position however exalted in a society can't override the basic legal framework. It's extremely unfortunate that the most powerful people in this world quite forget this obvious fact and always jump the line of fire. They must understand that their hidden passion is more visible when they grow up in ladder.

Perhaps, Dominique Strauss-Kahn may end up in jail for few years for his abnormal sexual misadventure and will even be barred from the next French presidential candidature, but that will not be an appropriate lesson for the herds of his category because powerful men with a high degree of immorality will always commit the same crime repeatedly and face the legal actions and forget that they ever had such misfortunes in their life. Poor immoral men, a matter of distorted testosterone complexity.
