*Empowerment* implies one doesn’t have the power.
It’s a dangerous proposition.
You crave power. Only NOT. You really crave submission. You want your life to be simple and predictable, orderly and permanent.
To seek empowerment is to escape the responsibility.
Why ‘seek it’? So that you can’t find it, yes? So that there is someone or something to take the blame but the status quo is preserved.
You keep on fighting and empowering and looking good — and nothing changes — because of this because of that.
I don’t just condemn any ideology.
I condemn ALL the ideology.
I don’t just call it stupid.
I call it weakening, destructive.
‘Power’ must be claimed. MOMENT TO MOMENT.
It can’t be possessed but it must not be avoided.
You are avoiding responsibility anytime you look for the reasons on the outside and not on the inside.
Ideology is how you are escaping yourself.
Empowerment is how you escape your own power.
Blaming is how you escape responsibility.
Changing the world is how you escape changing yourself.
