Couldn't boredom be a reason for people chasing power?
Blaise Pascal had interesting thoughts on it:
"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”

We have an inherent desire to engage with the world and other people, to reach out for new stimuli. Often the most interesting path is the one where you influence people and that is by nature a form of power.
