If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?

Harry Shearer
About This Quote

When you are in absolute power, it is very easy to get lost in the routine of your day. Without any conflict, there is nothing for you to overcome. Without any obstacles, you are free to play your role in life without ever having to take an unexpected step. This is not what the quote by Plato is talking about.

Absolute powerlessness corrupts absolutely because it becomes boring after a while. It can lead to boredom but it does not mean that absolute powerlessness makes you pure.
