Power makes you lazy. Insofar as our earlier theoretical discussion of structural violence revealed anything, it was this: that while those in situations of power and privilege often feel it as a terrible burden of responsibility, in most ways, most of the time, power is all about what you don't have to worry about, don't have to know about, and don't have to do. David Graeber
About This Quote

Though the people in power often face responsibilities, they don't have to worry about them. On the other hand, those in lower positions don't have the freedom to do anything they want. They are in charge of their lives, but without any power. Power is the ability to make life better for oneself and not for others.
