Through reading “Power and Love” it has become clearer to me the necessity for self-reflection. Without knowing the self one cannot begin to embark upon the journey of change. What is it to be changed without knowledge of what is flawed? Shay Ben Yosef states, “It is always us who is blocking us” (76).
The fear of power can often times be because of the fear of power-over. To have power-over people in the pursuit of exercising my own power toward a goal is a situation I would rather avoid. To incorporate both love and power into my everyday life evenly is going to be a lifelong journey. They must be embodied and seen within everything.
