Dictator Personality

Dictator Personality and Characteristics

Traits/Personality
Strong minded
Warmonger
Madness
Power Hungry
Demanding
Corruption [depending on which dictators that are actually corrupted people]

Personality of a Dictator, I believe that most dictators are people that use force and uses other ways to gain power. From my understanding of reading and watching world war's Dictator [Like Stalin and Hitler] they seem to have the traits of a person who likes to fight and start or be part in Wars. Example Stalin raised in the Soviet ranks because of his communism skills by persuading people about his thoughts. Therefore I mostly think that a Dictator is mostly a Force and Power Hungry person.

Whilst looking at the clear blue waters underneath me I had a moment of silence to remember my loved ones as the voyage may be the last of me and my crew. But as I had not lost all hope yet I persevered through my thoughts and went on my way and helped out crew. Later that evening one of my a men suddenly had a vision and was telling us of the end of our voyage. everyone laughed on him saying he was weak minded, but I kept it seriously and thought of preparing my self for the bitter end. but as I walked away from the crowd to clear my mind and looked at the dark waters. Suddenly I saw a figure in the mysterious water whilst quickly looking back at my mates as if nothing happened thinking to myself as if I was hallucinating. but as I looked backed at the mysterious figure everyone behind was shouting, in agony and pain as if it was hell's door behind, the boat was slowly sinking down. and thus as I had my last breaths of the fresh air and my last thoughts of my loved ones I closed my eyes as I knew that my inevitable death was coming to end my misery.

• 1.I think that mercy is a little bit like forgiveness as your asking for someone to either have mercy on you[like to not kill you] compared to forgiveness as you just apologize someone that did you wrong [ I think]
• 2.Revenge is kinda easier because you feel hatred and bad feelings for someone who did something bad/sad to you, as to mercy its kinda hard to forgive someone as you already have hatred thoughts of his/her
