"Those who least want positions of power are those who should be most welcome to them." to bring it back to the religious topic, Jesus was a great example of this. he spoke of the person who sat at the foot of the table deserving the most honoured position, washed the feet of his disciples, turned down a populace offer to become King, etc... i'm not religious, but i respect and appreciate what Jesus stood for, talked about and did ... - -- Aaron J.
