power struggle
A power struggle is a sport of seizing titles and positions from others. The rhetoric of victory sounds noble, but what remains are friendships abandoned beside cold chairs. Participants preach justice and ideals, while their true motive is always a loud voice. In the endgame, the only sound echoing is the resounding crack of stepping on someone’s foot behind a smile. Yet when the frenzy subsides, both winner and loser stand naked before the void.
