Difficulty thinking of power as something which is not possessed, accumulated ..

It is like the problem many people face when applying Demings 14 principles.

We think we have rights that we do not have and we do not accept our duties.
The moral order leaves us blind and we fail to engage in actions that we
need to engage in to sustain society.
