Changed line(s) 1 (click to see context) from:
It is a natural human desire to seek power. Power is a form of freedom (people generally want control over their own lives) and tends to come with perks like wealth, prestige, security (of a sort -- one who has power always has to beware being on the wrong end of a KlingonPromotion), and mates ("Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac"). Power also comes with responsibility, like securing the welfare of one's subjects and defending them from enemies. Where despotism and power-hunger become problematic is when somebody takes power and refuses to use it responsibly, or worse, [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans outright abuses it]]. (If somebody seeks power specifically with the responsibilities in mind, you're looking for UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans.)
