Magnanimous when flattered, perverse and cruel when challenged, power is a dangerous animal. Lurking in the shadows, it spies on any movement concerning its field of intervention, its territory. It watches, inquires, collects information; analyzing, scrutinizing the clues, judging, it retaliates immediately, by all the means at its disposal, to restore its order and maintain itself in place at all costs. Implacable, unjust if necessary, because its survival is at stake.
