"
Understand the nature of power – who possesses it and why, how it is wielded, and for what purposes. Power means not being accountable for actions that hurt others but that increase your own power and wealth.." https://www.eurasiareview.com/02012025-robert-reich-the-20-realities-of-the-american-system-oped/#google_vignette
Power is many things to many people, but when Adolf Hitler took power in the 1930's he changed the world and not for the better. The suffering of Hitler's targets were beyond traumatizing.
In my naïveté I believed humanity was a decent animal who had a conscience and was shocked to hear of the tortures forced on innocent people.
But the point of power is to create a world where the majority of people have very little power over their lives. That's what war is about.
So we who are not invested in weapons of mass or psychological destruction must practice loving kindness as well as good planning.
