The Paradox That Shapes Every Human Relationship
Power isn't what we think it is. Forget Machiavelli's vision of force and manipulation-true power comes from elevating others. When Gandhi led the salt march or Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, they changed history not through physical might but through moral authority. This paradox runs through every human interaction: the very qualities that help us gain influence-empathy, generosity, focus on others-are often corrupted by power itself. In boardrooms and bedrooms alike, those who rise through kindness frequently transform into self-serving figures disconnected from those they once championed. Understanding this pattern explains both humanity's greatest achievements and its most troubling failures.
