"power is defined as the extent to which you can inconvenience others" LOL! That's true, Art.

It can also be defined as the extent to which you can assist and empower others. Depends on how it's used and from whose perspective.

For instance, Joan of Arc proved to have great powers of personality, faith, and decision. Those permitted her to massively inconvenience the English invaders of France (and their Burgundian allies) and tremendously assist the rest of the French people, to the point of saving the nation. As such, she is remembered as a heroine and a martyr (even by the present-day English).

Evidently, power can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on one's perspective and one's intentions and purposes. France was very much in need of someone who could "inconvenience" the English at that juncture in history.

We are in great need of leaders with the wisdom to exercise power for the benefit of all persons, not just for the benefit of themselves and a privileged few at the top.
