To the members of this community,
I am certain that everyone is aware of the importance in the entity of power. Logically, a certain amount of strength is necessary for survival.
However, history has proven many instances where people have succumbed to their greed of acquiring too much power. They can be easily led down the wrong path, and then left wandering around in the eternal darkness of their own creation. Power that exceeds reasonable limitations would likely cause fear and discontentment amongst many of the bystanders affected by the carrier.
And yet, in spite of knowing these dangers, people continue to have the desire to become stronger, and some pursue their goal relentlessly, regardless of the possible consequences.
Those of you that may have been affected by, or even experienced this ordeal, what would you be willing to risk, and perhaps even relinquish completely, in the pursuit of power? How does one decide which point is appropriate to stop?
Signed,
Gaara of the Desert

I do not wish to say that this is right, simply that it is how our world works.

Yet I imagine that ninjas will always be getting stronger and more powerful, each generation more deadly than the last. To me that seems like a bleak future, and not something to look forward to. So maybe it would be preferable not to go down that road. Though I cannot say what limit we could put on evolution.

Unfortunately, that can be derived from the effects of sociological demands and expectations.
Should we attempt to implement limitations, what do you think would be reasonable criteria?
