Mankind & Power

Mankind seems to have an endless propensity to destroy things (even good things), not to mention each other.

We have so much power; we don’t even need to use it to protect ourselves. 

But, for some reason, we are prone to misunderstanding what the nature of that power is.  And, so, rather than use it for the benefit of others, we use it against people who are a little different (from us) by trying to gather people around us who just look a little more like us.  

How much of our power do we forfeit because of how small our view of it is?  Power is exponentially greater when it is used to include and expand (love) than when it is used to exclude and protect (fear).
