But, Money is Power If a person wants Freedom to eat anything he wants, to go wherever he wants, to do whatever he wants, He need the Power of Money. Money can Buy Anything - Power, Influence, Freedom, Even Immortality. If the one who owns that Limitless amount of Money knows how to use it...
Everyone is born powerful, you are just conditioned by life events, maybe your parents & society to give away your power. To look at power like something you have to manipulate or force yourself upon others to get is what’s wrong with the society today, that leads to all the power games & struggles, suffering & wars. Keeping in mind that everyone is born powerful, all that is needed in life is to find your inner power, assume that power with integrity and respect each other as powerful beings. If you have good intentions and is in your character to be a leader, people will fallow your lead not because you are more powerful than them, but because you may be better in that than them since not everyone likes to or is good at leading. No matter how much money you have or how high in position you are in a job, if you disrespect another human being is gonna be a problem one way or another. What always worked in life is mutual respect, which means everyone respects each other’s power, whether be in marriages, in parents-children relationships, at work & everywhere in society.
the thing is . its human nature to always have power over others . if lets say everyone had equal power then basically no one has power . but i get what he is saying . its a mentality shift of the world . there is no scarcity of resources but rather a scarcity of understanding that there is scarcity of not using the power we have as human beings thats the power of thinking thoughts not as an individual but as a whole organism . we should look at this from a larger scale . But still at the end of the day the reality of the world is that those with power will do anything they have to , to hold it and get dominion over the ones who are just drifting through life and are not thinking for themselves . You can either think for yourself or you can be their slaves . up to you .
I was a drug addict for 7 years, and I have realized that true freedom in our capitalist society is gained through having the money to lease that freedom.
I think this is a really good question. There is no simple or blanket answer. But it’s a valuable piece of the conversation and I’m glad you brought it up Keilan.
Part of the answer is doing better as a society to hold power accountable. Another part is for those of us with power to spread it. Another part is for everyone to realize that they often have power they are not fully aware of. Another part may be to lean in to the multiplying potential of collective action.
Money doesn't buy freedom. Power buys freedom. Money without power is.. just money.
But, Money is Power

Money is power but only when deployed strategically.
Nothing buys freedom

This sounds good and all but what do those with little to no power do when those that abuse the power are not willing to use power mutually?
