Yes. It is an obsessive driving force of ambition in some men that is ever present in every single generation since the first consolidation of power. When the ambition is finally realized in it’s fullness and becomes universal, it will also be how everything ends.
A tyrant thinks that he (or she), once they have got all the power, that they are somehow free to act as they desire and they they will have that "freedom" forever.
However, they are trapped and in the end cannot escape their own entrapment.
They even think that they will have everlasting glory.
Tis an entanglement of the mind and soul in which the end goal is always perdition.
