Power is the combination of ability and need.
So is compassion.
When one has an ability and they offer to use it to better another person on the condition that the other person reciprocate with something - that is power.
When one has an ability and they use it to better another without demand or expectation - that is compassion.
On one hand you have power - the control, influence or seduction of a choice a subject will make to do, say or think something by offering an ability to help or hinder that subject's need.
On the other hand you have compassion - the offering of an ability to help another without any intention of personal gain.
When one sees power, they are driven to fear, anger or excitement.
When one sees compassion we are driven to tears of love.
I know I was when I watched this.
It's the choice we make every day. It is not always an easy choice.
Power or love.
Which do you choose today?
