Oman’s hero is another man’s tyrant, a popular aphorism goes. Who is a power hungry person? The power hungry – These people are in it for the power – amassing as much of it as they possibly can. They want to climb the ladder because that gives them more power over other people. Power hungry means a strong desire for power.

What is the true meaning of power?

1. Possession of control, authority, or influence over others.

2. A nation that has influence among other nations a foreign power.

3. The ability to act or produce an effect, it’s in your power to change things.

4. The right to do something the president’s powers.

They see power as a position or title, which comes with authority and control, and a belief in the form of supremacy over others. Others believe that real power comes from ‘inside-out.’ They maintain that power is the ability of each individual to cultivate by themselves.

No matter how historians or fanatics spin certain stories, world leaders who caused the death of over 10 million people in their reign would always be judged by history as not only violent but murderous. Below are five of the most vicious and ruthless leaders of all time

Genghis Khan (1206-1227)

Mongol Emperor Genghis Khan was hailed as a hero by

Indeed, with a positive ending in mind, the main aim of the weekly shares has been to hopefully ignite different interesting perspectives and viewpoints in general discussions, as well as question a few general life aspects that have for the longest time been unfortunately deemed as in permanent or unchangeable and an unchallengeable sad reality.

That said, one recurring topical theme that seems to not have universal answers and solutions has been that of relationships, marriage and divorce.

Love is a beautiful thing, they say. In fact, some even argue that until you experience the best of it and in its truest form, you will never understand and agree with such a statement.

On the other hand, lost, it is said to be

once it’s the most many because he was able to unite the Mongol tribes. He was a gifted strategist and leader which helped him conquer a huge part of China and Central Asia. He was known to be brutal and historians believed that around 40 million people were killed all across Asia and Europe during the Mongol conquests.

King Leopold II of Belgium (1865-1909)

King Leopold II of Belgium was known for the founding and brutal exploitation of the Congo Free State. He enslaved and forced the Congolese to farm ivory and rubber. Leopold’s harsh and inhumane policies which kept people working nonstop resulted in the death of over 10 million people.

Joseph Stalin (1929-1953)

Joseph Stalin, the infamous dictator of the Soviet Union caused the mass murder of around 40 million people. painful thing ever. In the same breath, almost every other weekend, if one is not attending a funeral or being one with those in mourning, they are possibly celebrating love and the union of a new couple somewhere.

Be that as it may, unfortunately, elsewhere others are silently going through the most and battling, amongst other major issues, the stresses that come with divorce.

He instigated a forced famine in Ukraine, set-up force labour camps, and even killed people from his own party.

Adolf Hitler (1933-1945)

German dictator Adolf Hitler will always be included in any list that talks about murders and horrific killings by ruthless leaders. His goal was to create a ‘master race’ which he tried to carry out by terminating Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, and Slavs. Millions of people were sent to concentration camps where they were tortured, worked to death, or gassed to death. One study by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum suggests that the Nazis may have killed up to 20 million people, several million more than previously believed.

Mao Zedong (1949-1976)

Communist leader and founder of the People’s Republic of China Mao Zedong was hailed by many as a hero for turning China divorce case is still due to be proven, but unfortunately cannot and will still take a while because such a recent reality is less spoken of or openly discussed.

This week’s focus on the other hand, is not going to be on proving such a ratio, but rather narrowing attention on addition and now existence of social media in the mix.

Yes, social media is officially part of and in the mix of it all.

Besides the vast and growing research to prove how social media negatively affects one’s general mental health, did you know that social media has become

into a world superpower. Evidence suggests, however, that Zedong was the greatest mass murderer in history. Zedong killed over 45 million during China’s ‘Great Leap Forward’ from 1958–1962. Sadly, most of his victims were Chinese.

Among the most pointed of political aphorisms is Lord Acton’s, ‘Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.’ The line lingers because it’s wonderfully wellphrased – and because it rings totally true. Even if absolute power is not something that we’ve personally experienced, we know from the most rudimentary reading of history that some people are power-hungry in the extreme. To the point where nothing less than absolute power, which corrupts as indefinitely as absolutely, will suffice.

Yes, there are many throughout history but even today we are living with so many. I promised we would touch on Putin

a factor in an increasing number of divorce cases? According to

“social media has become a significant threat to marriage, and is now a factor in an increasing amount of divorce cases.

Furthermore, new research found one in seven married individuals have considered divorce because of their spouse’s postings on social media platforms.”

Moving on from such an interesting fact (that I hope we will find time in the very near future to dissect the hows, whys and what thens), this week, I would like to focus more on the issue of handling recorded or captured and posted (on social media) happy memories versus post-divorce era.

The other week, out of genuine and general interest, one posted on my social media platforms a few random yet valid questions regarding the above.

Understanding the fact that life happens and sometimes the inevitable becomes a reality, post-divorce, what happens to past captured and posted wedding celebration photos and videos on social media platforms? Beside changing your names and surname back to the old or new ones, do you also delete or privatise all past (marriage and wedding) memories? If so, why? Secondly, should your close friends and family follow suit? but he is not alone. Email me at with who you think could be a power hungry crazed leader of our time and we could collaborate and do a piece together.

Vladimir Putin born October 7, 1952, Leningrad, U.S.S.R. Russian president (1999–2008; 2012–) and prime minister (1999; 2008–12). Putin served 15 years with the KGB, including six years in Dresden, E.Ger. In 1990, he retired from active KGB service and returned to Russia to become prorector of Leningrad State University, and by 1994 he had risen to the post of first deputy mayor of the city. In 1996 he moved to Moscow, where he joined the presidential staff as deputy to Pavel Borodin, the Kremlin’s chief administrator.

In July 1998, President Boris Yeltsin made Putin director of the Federal Security Service the KGB’s domestic successor. In 1999 Yeltsin appointed Putin prime minister, and on December 31 of that year, Yeltsin stepped down as president in Putin’s favour. Three months later Putin won a resounding electoral victory, partly the result of his success in the battle to keep Chechnya from succeeding. In his first term he asserted central control over Russia’s 89 regions and republics and moved to reduce the power of Russia’s unpopular financiers and media tycoons. The period was also marked by frequent terrorist attacks by Chechen separatists. Putin easily won re-election in 2004. His chosen successor, Dmitry Medvedev, was elected president in March 2008 and, shortly after taking office, appointed Putin prime minister. In 2011 the two men announced that they would be trading posts— pending a victory at the polls— and in the 2012 election, Putin won a third term as president. In 2014 he oversaw the occupation and annexation by Russia of the Ukrainian autonomous republic of Crimea.

In fact, is it fair to expect such from them as well?

Below are a few of the responses that came through:

‘There’s no obligation to follow suit, it was a moment in time and it was a great memory. I would not do so, as it was my reality and I love memories. I understand people who do so to ‘kill off’ that etched memory as part of their healing or to be considerate to their new partner or relationships’

‘It is tricky. bangasifaki, especially if we made great memories(those picture are receits of a great time)’

‘Let them delete each other and not involve 3rd parties.’ ‘It’s a matter of choice. If they chose to delete those pictures. They then can’t impose on me to follow suit it’s infringement of my fundamental right as a person. Kutsi mine ngiyati gcina nome cha. Akufaki muntfu. People need to respect people for their descions. They brought this person to our lives so, if I feel like keeping those pictures I will and they both have to respect my descions. I hope there’s some insight there’
