11 of greatplace 论高位
men in great place, are thrice servants: servants of the sovereign or state; servants of fame; and servants of business. so as they have no freedom; neither in their persons; nor in their actions; nor in their times. it is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
居高位的人是三重的仆役:君主或国家底仆役;名声底仆役;事业底仆役。所以他们是没有自由的,既没有个人底自由,也没有行动底自由,也没有时间底自由。要寻求权力而去掉自由,或寻求凌驾他人的权力而失却统治自己的权力,这一种欲望是一种可异的欲望。
