The Lesson
Power isn’t volume.
Power isn’t a suit.
Power isn’t a title printed on a glass door.
Real power is structure.
Real power is ownership.
Real power is the person who can stop protecting you from the consequences of who you are.
And if someone ever mistakes your kindness for weakness, remember this:
The person holding real power rarely needs to brag about it.
They just decide when to stand up.
What would you have done in that hospital room—sign to survive the moment, or refuse and risk the fight?
And do you think revenge is “petty”… or sometimes just overdue accountability?
