Dependence should not be governed by the economy but trust, mutual inter-faith. Regardless, financial power in the form of unequal distribution of wealth is inherently destabilizing, much as unequal distribution of political power in the symbolic form of voting led to the rise of social movements, collectives of alternative influence seeking to challenge foundational assumptions of societies. Physical environments change to reflect the distribution of power in general, as does thought itself; power must be realized in some form, be it social, economic, cultural or beyond. This realization will always be in action, there will always be shifting, as changing environments play off of one-another in us, engendering new possibilities as we constantly construct meaning from observation and interpretation. Still, the power flux is slow, as slow as we are to come to understanding and communicate it to others. Mutual interests are vital to maintaining power, yet these cause coagulation, suspicion and unrest. It is ill-advised to resist the flow of history. The smaller one tries to make the margin of error, the greater the potentially disastrous consequences. The more control one exerts, the more unprepared one is for the uncontrollable. Power is never absolute, always asymptotic. Power’s antithesis is a seed within itself.
Separation is always segregation.
