Power
Power attracts different reactions from different people...
Some people get attracted to people with power... some prefer avoiding such people....
and there are the minority whose reaction doesn't change with the power a person has...
There is a similar parallel for people with power...
Anyway, what is power ?
pow·er [pou-er] noun
1. ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something.
2. political or national strength: the balance of power in Europe.
3. great or marked ability to do or act; strength; might; force.
4. the possession of control or command over others; authority; ascendancy: power over men's minds.
5. political ascendancy or control in the government of a country, state, etc.: They attained power by overthrowing the legal government.
I believe it's all relative... Who might seem powerful to me, might be tiny for the Prime Minister... or is it just a state of mind... the more you let someone be in control, the more controlled you become..
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.
~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
