Power is not something we should be afraid of. Power is great, power is energy.

Too serious, you make you sick. You can calling the good energy with a smile. (From Ketut Liyer, the Balinese healer)

The most important thing my grandfather taught me was that the most noble way to use your skills, intellect and energy is to defend the marginalized against those with the greatest power - and that the resulting animosity from those in power is a badge of honor.
