"What is normally considered to be power is not real power at all. Chasing money, glamour, sex; wanting control over others - political and military power - all are manifestations of the ego. They're often glorified forms of showing off; they dwell in the currency of the ego, and they often appeal only to other egos, so they're subject to people's whims. A person can be rich and successful and still be very weak. Money doesn't give you real strength; it just keeps you comfortable while you experience your dysfunction. The world of the ego is brittle, fragile, and insecure; it never feels really safe, and it has no lasting worth. The ego's world dies. More often than not, it self-destructs."
-Stuart Wilde, Silent Power
