Friends : I was speaking with a brilliant man from #Germany. 🇩🇪
Power. Will #humanity always seek power? Genuinely?
#QOTD #Question

The real question is whther humanity cn evolve to seek power responsibly🙌.... Balancing ambition wth empathy nd strength wth wisdom. This ongoing challenge shapes evry society, includin those on #Nostr. 🧡🧡🧡
Yes. Power is a Divine trait. If we are to evolve into something compatible with the Divine singularity we must become more Divine ourselves.
Power penetrates resistance and as such it is a Divine Masculine trait. It must be balanced by Mercy which entails accepting what has already transpired and as such it is a Divine Feminine trait.
We are to embody both Power and Mercy. This is echoed in the idea that the peaceful person is doubly virtuous but the harmless person is not virtuous at all.
Power will be sought by those who polarize positively and those who polarize negatively. The difference is that those who polarize positively will develop that Power in balance with Mercy.

The moment humanity stops questing after power is the moment humanity goes extinct. Power is an unambiguous Good. It can be used in bad ways, but it in itself is good because it serves other purposes, which could be more directly good.
🤔 what's the opposite of power? Maybe heart.
Why do empires fail? Like, the real reason, beneath the reasons. I think they pursue power too much and have no heart. In seeking power over humans, they sacrifice humanity. What do they sacrifice to? Some malevolent god that devours humanity... Power.
Power changes things. Heart lets them be.
Yeah, still thinking, days later. I'm weird like that.
