I struggled with a pretty bad eating disorder for years and Thanksgiving was always extremely stressful for me and I ' d spend the entire day anxious about what I was going to eat . There were several years where I would have paid a million dollars to have this plate as my entire meal . I ate a normalportioned plate today and I feel great . Happy Thanksgiving ! Btw your handwriting is beautiful . <| sep |> Here ' s how you can prove it ' s not axiomatically true . Look at the history of kings and emperors who had actual or de facto absolute power over their people and their realms . You will notice that some rulers were far more restrained and far less corrupted by their power than others . Exhibit A . Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius , known as a philosopher king who tried quite hard to rule as fairly as he knew how . Exhibit B . Roman Emperor Nero , a man who was said have been born to demonstrate just how far unlimited vice can go when combined with unlimited power . This is a man who kicked his pregnant wife in the stomach and enjoyed executing random people . The positions of these two men were essentially the same but the supposedly corrosive influence of power definitely did not affect them in the same way .
