Is everything really about power?

Do you think an employee actually typically respects their employer?

No - their source of income is to patronize them. That is to say, smile and nod at their stupid ideas and take their money.

Its said "we are paid by the hour..." the last half of that sentence is "so we don't have to lynch you for being an idiot".

Respect comes not from your rank, but from how you carry yourself and behave.

I think we can go in circles attempting to figure out what it is that human life is based on but it would send us into paradoxes because what we think we know can be completely wrong. I think it's best to not know anything and be open to learning everything. But yeah people who display traits of security surely have some advantages especially with regards to women, however, I think that comes from the primary urge of taking care of oneself.

Sometimes we see what we want to see.

As Oscar Wilde once said, “everything in the world is about sex — except sex. Sex is about power.”

In the words of frank underwood:

“Everything is about sex and sex is about power.”

In the words of varys

“Power resides where men believe it resides.”

Yes, it is ALL about PERCEIVED power, looks, social status(relative), money(resources), sex appeal, body language, charisma, "game"(aka ability to talk and manipulate), frame(your mental fortitude and resolve to carry out YOUR agenda), physical prowess(fucking and fighting). At the very least, IT IS ABOUT HOW MOST PPL PERCEIVE THOSE SMV STATS OR ATTRIBUTES.

i wouldn't say life is ALL about power, i think there are such things as genuine curiosity and compassion.

but in dealing with people in general, power relations can help predict A LOT of behavior. unless you mean to live like a monk, then yes power will play a very large role in a person's life.
