Status and Power:

“I met an old lady once, almost a hundred years old, and she told me, 'There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. How much do you love me? And Who's in charge? 

-- Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

I move in two social groups.

One believes power is a dirty word. It is the source of suffering and inequality. It removes us from connection, and makes us focus on our position in the group rather than each others’ well-being.

One believes power is the most important thing in the world. Suffering is not caused by power but by systems, and power can be used to change systems.

Which group is correct?
