Break free of the deception that exists in many cultures – the lie that speaks of power as inherently evil. Consider instead that weakness, poverty, and passivity, are often more dangerous than power. Weakness, poverty, and passivity often lead to paths that do not serve you individually – paths that do not serve us collectively, and paths that do not serve us spiritually.
Kevin L. Michel, The 7 Laws of Quantum Power

Steven Pinker
