The addiction of authority

Hi,

"Rabbi Yehoshua ben Perachyah said: At first, had anyone told me, 'Ascend to authority,' I would have bound him up in front of a lion. Now [that I hold authority], if anyone would tell me to descend from authority, I would pour a pot of boiling water over him!"

(Talmud, Menachot 109b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
