It's a big question. But think about it.
From the first few months of your birth, you realised you had the power to affect your surroundings. By crying, someone would rush to you and give you attention. If you threw that ball in your hand, it would move away from you. We enjoy having the ability to cause things and then watch the effects.
Why do bullies put themselves at the top of the pyramid?
Why do we like outsmarting each other?
Why do males compete to see who is the manliest?
Why why why?

survival of the fittest? natural instinct. Birds do it too, they put on displays so that they can get the female and breed, so the brightest and best carries on the genes.

Yeah, DON'T shut up...this is really interesting. Some people are just mean. Anyway, I don't know. It's kind of like this question: Why do people feel the need to be loved? Why?! I don't get it...and probably never will. It's just human nature, and that's all I can say. =)

Very simple answer. We are all trying to be God. We are in the land of illusion and We think we are the lord of all we survey. We think we are in control or great or something special due to illusion. We always fall short and at the time of death everyone realizes they are not God and have no control. If one wants to be free from all illusion and suffering the quickest and easiest process is the chanting of the Maha Mantra (The great Mantra for deliverance) for details go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com/chanting_hare_krishna.htm

Because power will give you the ability to do anything. What you do with that power... well that, depends on the person. I can be used to do good to others, personal pleasure, etc.

It releases something deep within us that makes us feel good about ourselves and our place in the world.
