Raison oblige theory

Have you ever heard the word "raison oblige"? It comes from French and means "obliged reason". It's a theory that says with great power or ability comes great responsibility.

It's like when you learn how to ride a bike, you have a responsibility to use it safely and follow the rules of the road. The same goes for people who have a lot of power, like leaders or wealthy individuals. They have a responsibility to use their power in a good way and help others.

Think of it like a superhero. If you had superpowers, you would use them to help people and do good things, right? That's because you have a responsibility to use your powers for good.

So, if you ever find yourself in a position of power or ability, remember that you have a responsibility to use it in a positive way and help others. That's the "raison oblige" theory in a nutshell.
