As jealousy is a part of human nature whatever person is elected into an elevated position of either power or celebrity status there will always be people who believe they shouldn't be where they are or that think that they would be better role models

We should always have persons of superior morality in positions of power.
Jealousy among the people existed long before governments and political theory and includes things that have nothing to do with power or influence.
You have a thing that I like and wish I had. That's the basics of jealousy.

Individuals prone to jealousy are going to be jealous no matter who or what is in authority.
An individual of superior morality may have some insights into this issue. I think it was Albert Einstein who said that you cannot solve a problem by looking at it with the same mindset that created the problem ( or something similar to that). Therefore, in order to reduce jealousy, you would need to look at it from a perspective of not being jealous.
People in power need to be of superior morality, otherwise abuse of that power is imminent.

niki, I've sat here and read this statement about 15 times, and the best I can make of it is that whoever said it means that to stop holding office seekers to high moral standards would leave the populace with less to aspire to thus ending human jealousy. The obvious problem is that, regardless of who's elected to positions of authority, people will still be subject to jealousies over one anther's wealth and possessions, one spouse cheating on the other, or the notoriety of the famous. What's more, it lays open the possibility of putting someone the likes of Adolf Hitler in the oval office. In short, whoever made this statement was/is a naive idealist with an utter ignorance of human nature. And, that, niki, is exactly what I would offer as my comment.

It is fallacy and incomplete statement. Jealousy aint a slave of high moral individuals reaching top political positions or the lack of it.
Jealousy is with those we know...who have grown or gone ahead. Unknown people do not bother us.
In the life of intellectual people where knowledge and recognition is the race, being "picked up" or noticed is a victory. Here due to competition jealousy might effect and hold the statement true. Else no. Do tell me what you thing of it doll face.

Hitler and the superior Aryan race, other than losing the second world war , killing 7 million Jews and having their country destroyed that went well

Who's the judge for "Superior Morality".
It's all relevant to the task at hand.

This statement makes no sense. Whoever wrote it needs to acquire a functioning brain. Good luck.

What about those who think they have the money to buy whatever they want, including power? Think of those whom are very "high-up", they are the rich ones.
