One may realize that one cannot really help but be seduced into using the power granted for personal gain. It is psychologically hard to give up such granted power, to say with humility, “I don’t know if I can help or not” or “I cannot really help you.” There is a huge temptation to take a chance that one can help. I notice this especially if someone asks me for help with a computer problem. Even if I know that I probably don’t understand the situation any better than the person asking, I leap in and try to help, sometimes making things worse.
