Power’s greatest fear is an individual who needs it no longer.

Independence threatens established systems because it redefines relationships of control. The highest form of power is one that eliminates the need for its own existence.

The foundation of power lies in dependency. Systems of authority, influence, and control persist because individuals often rely on them to navigate uncertainty, structure their ambitions, or validate their sense of worth. Power flourishes where dependence exists, feeding on the gaps it promises to fill. The moment an individual transcends this dependency, the system is destabilized—not through rebellion, but through irrelevance.
