2. If you are in a position of power, you are happy.
3. Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature
2. Being in power does not make you a happy person. It isn't impossible to be happy in a position of power, but being in a position of power doesn't guarantee happiness. Some of the responsibilities that ensue with being in a position of power can be very stressful and cause problems with mental health. If anyone is in charge of anything and there is pressure to be successful it can turn out to be very taxing. Many people in a position of power don't understand the eventual responsibility.
3. Lying, betrayal, and violence is something everyone is capable of if put in the right circumstance. It is part of survival instinct to protect ourselves from harm. Maybe we don't see everyone being violent and lying, but anyone is capable of acquiring traits assimilated with lying, betrayal and violence. When threatened fight or flight adrenaline helps us to survive. If everyone constantly told the truth what would happen?
I agree with you on both of these.
