Power is not a dirty word
Jonathan Swift once said power is no blessing in itself except when it is used to protect the innocent.
Power is the ability to maintain ones identity, or sense of self, in any given situation or interaction.It is simply the capacity to act, to be able to bring about a change, and change is something which though unpleasant at times, is necessary.
We all have some amount of power no matter what we think.As long as we think we have none, power will always look bad.
Power is an idea something which we can develop together; the growth in ones power enhances as well as balances the power of others.Imagining ourselves as powerless we disparage our acts as useless.
Thus, we need to rethink power as a force that brings change and a responsibility that heals.
