Is it absolutely insane, if i said the most powerful person in the world is you? Not being facetious.
If each person took control of their agency instead of falling victim to hopelessness or indifference than they are a legitimate contender in the most powerful person in the world contest. It all starts with one person/ one community (Mother Teresa, Mahatma Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr, Dali Lama, Yuri Kochiyama, Grace Lee Boggs). I'm sure there are lots of others that are not in the public eye. My idea of a powerful person is someone that is a catalyst for social change and can push others to move forward in spite of opposition. In other words influence, but I prefer to acknowledge power only when it serves a greater good.
