Tyranny is the worst form of government, in which a unjust individual is able to convince the people that he will serve and protect them but, once he has achieved power, works only for his own interest no matter what the costs are to his subjects. The tyrant, necessarily paranoid about those close to him, lives in constant fear and anxiety. He is the most miserable of all men.
