The Power of Being

What 's this, that power? The power of creation, of doing, of change which lies within each human?
Et si c'est un homme, loi parler á création á volonté...

In each human heart there lies a power to bring something new into the world, to release a certain power which has an influence on the world. Why are arrest and prison the most popular punishment for a "misbehaving" human? Because the soul of a human crawls for independence, and each independence produces some kind of action. A human being, like you and me, like to have influence on his life and the life around! In prison, under arrest, your influence is taken - first the influence on others, and as last the influence on yourself, the last and most basic field a human can have freedom in. That's why arrest, prison or even any form of lack of freedom or independence can be so humiliating. You're been taken your most important quality you're supposed to make use of!

As a result of this, people often seek for power. Any power. The power a wife has upon her husband, a cook in a kitchen, a worker over the material he is working at, a boss over his workers, a soldier over his weapon, and a president over the goverment he is leading. In the end, all of us would like to have some control or power, and in the very first - over ourselves. Even if many people I met often say they despise this run for power, they despise the control over others, they despise any show-off of strength or superior ability, like they never would join an army or never go into politics or distance themselves from people who like having bigger presence in life.
But power not only makes us feel strong - it is one of the essences of humanity and it depends on how you choose to use the power you have. The talent of art, of singing, of writing, is another kind of own expression so many people admire. But each such expression is another way of showing your ability. My conclusion is that power is measured by its influence. My breath has no immediate influence on you, but a strong storm does - although it's nothing more than moving air.

If you want to feel powerful you should choose an instrument of power which can bring much good and life, Then this power will ordain you, ornate you and not make you ugly. You and me and all of us.
