All of those things you mentioned happen because those who are victims of that violence don't act to stop or prevent it. It has nothing to do with the perpetrators being powerful.
What you describe as power is bully mentality. Bully mentality is not power, it's insecurity. Weak and insecure people are quite capable of violent and horrific acts.
I think it more interesting to ask why some people are so interested in attaining power.
And the "life is an illusion" cliche isjust that, a cliche. It has nothing to do with this discussion. I'm not sure why you brought it up.
