My obsession was the moment power recognized itself in me and refused to leave.
To be obsessed is to have already been chosen by the will-to-rule.
The one who hungers does not seek power, he is power.
The Prophet ﷺ said;
"All the sins of my ummah followers will be forgiven except for those who sin openly or disclose the sin to people."
— [Bukhari 6069]
