‘Power and Love” allow us to explore the meaning of “love” and “power” on so many levels. I have gained a better understanding of the two words and have noticed that more of the things we do in our everyday life requires either one or the other or most times, a combination. The more effort and passion you put into learning the more you can get out of it, which is a powerful tool that leads you to success. I guess this example is also at the internal level, because you are at a constant battle with yourself as you reflect on the reasons why you decide to do something like going to college. The mental battle may be as simple as forcing yourself to get out of bed. Although by the end of the book we gain new insights on how to apply our new skills of power and love, we still cannot fully understand how two qualities that are at two different ends of the spectrum are necessary for things to work. The author answers this question by saying that, “The duality and unity of power and love constitute a mystery that we can approach and appreciate but cannot solve” (138).
As individuals and as a group in this class, we should follow the motto: “In order to keep moving – and especially to lead such movement – we can and must make, and keep on making, only one simple choice: what is our next step? (140). We must set up goals and figure out our destination, which gives us a greater purpose to achieving the movement. even if those goals and destination points change, we can always learn from those experiences and make changes from there on.
