The power to affirm that we have power will depend on how we relate to power, from my perspective there is no absolute power, that is, we can have the power to buy something material, but suddenly we do not have the power to relate to other people, in fact I would dare to say that for what we have power, perhaps at some point in our lives we will cease to have it.
There is an influence to understand certain terms, because maybe we can be more influential if we talk about capacity and/or ability instead of talking about power, it is not the same to say: “I have the power to buy such and such a thing” than to say “I have the capacity to buy such and such a thing”.
In the contemporary and modern world in which we live, personal relationships are very important, since we are interconnected, and any contribution that is made triggers a dependence on each other in a society lacking union, so any form of being able to relate to other people is very important.
If in the end what we want is to understand a context where what is obtained generates power, then perhaps the real power is held by those who say they do not have it, perhaps arrogance and ego make us lose the power we can really have without the need to proclaim it.
Perhaps power is not related to the ability to obtain things, so I think that the real power can have that person that despite the great influence that has a certain environment on him, does not allow him to change his essence and habits as an individual, because if nothing has made him lose in essence the genuineness of his personality, then he has had the power to preserve the most important thing that a person can have, which is his identity.
