Power over others is the cause of unhappiness in the world.

Well first things first,thank you for accepting me as your challenger,I'll do my best to provide at least a little static for your brain matter, if not a challenging debate. May I also thank-you for clarifying your premise,certainly a little tougher than the first one I read, however,I believe it's perhaps refutable still ,so,without further ado,let's begin. The aim of my argument is to show that power,in the context of this debate,is merely a tool used to achieve an objective,and can be blamed no more for the actions of it's user,than a gun could be blamed for the actions of it's user. I'd like to start by providing just a few examples of how the use of power can lead to positive outcomes,with the potential for happiness. Parent/child....Parents have power over children,and most wield it often,influencing a child to act,or not act a certain way,,is a "non negotiable" part of parenting. Happy adults,of which there are many,are a direct result of a anothers power to influence and coerce,therefore,any happy child OR adult,is evidence that happiness,can come from a sitution of power being used. Employer/employee.....employees submit to employers .Employers use the power of reward,to influence employees to submit to a set of rules and practices,in return an employee obtains financial reward which can enable one to engage in any number of activities that could well lead to happiness..Purchasing a computer to engage in pointless arguments on the internet being just one.I'm happy,are you? Law enforcement/citizen.....Citizens give mandate to government to form authortarian bodies(eg;police)that have power to enforce adehrence to particular standards of behavoir,ensuring a sense of safety and security amongst law abiding citizens,out of this happiness is a very real possibilty.Eg- A victim of theft could well be happy when their stolen property is returned,thanks to the police enforcing their power. Man handcuffed to bed post/woman in leather....This been an all ages channel and all,I'll leave this one to the imagination however,needless to say this is one submission to power with potential to bring IMMENSE happiness...hehehaha. I'm sure theres other,perhaps better examples however,unless pro disputes that the use of power,or submission to it, can produce an outcome,or response,that could include a happy disposition,I'll leave it at that and move on, In showing variance in the way power is implemented ,we see clearly that power is controlled. Given that power,is essentially a formless,mindless, intentless thing. it can't be controlling itself,so ,what is? Power as a tool or instrument..... To view power as a tool,or instrument, we need only look at some of the words that the term "power" is often used in conjunction with,Eg;-used/uses power,grip on power,wields power, words that clearly imply that power,is an entity that is utilized,therefore controlled,by another entity.It's seems only logical to me that if something is being controlled,then any result of it's actions,should,by right,be attributed to the controller,not the controlled. I therefore propose that power,is subservient to the intent of the entity that controls it, and therefore,cannot be held accountable,to do so is like blaming the gun for murder,instead of the shooter.The entity with intent,is culpable, not the tool used. In regards to pro's second round argument ,assuming all of these people pro refers to actually were in a state of unhappiness,One still has to determine that it was/is a direct result of ones relationship with power,as opposed to one of the many other reasons that may cause one to feel unhappy.As it stands,I don't believe that link has been made. There is one other point I thought I should bring up and although it's somewhat irrelevent to the argument,just for the record,I think you'll find Tricky Dicky (Richard Nixon) was the "watergate" president. I'll leave it there for this round,and look forward to hearing your response.
