Interesting comments so far, but what about soft power? Surely that isn't so bad, is it?


Forgive me if I'm wrong but I'm pritty sure soft power is still an act of manipulation, and coercion.

That is not power. That is politics. It is another petty act of a petty tyrant.

It is what salesmen do to get a sale, and make money.


The way I see it, soft power is more like the force of one's personality rather than outward manipulation or coercion.


Yes.. and personality can definitely be an ART FOR COOPERATION.

I LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS THE ZEN ART OF PERSONALITY.

YES, this is AN ANTI-THETICAL 'THOUGHT' TO SOME 'FUNDIE' 'ZEN' FOLKS.
BUT I AIN'T NO FUNDIE ANYTHING AS I LIVE BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ALL 'BOXES' i am aware of now per ALL THAT IS. :)
