Maybe this is a late realization

So, I'm realizing what "power" usually means. The ability to make a decision. You are free to make a decision in your life to push for something or push for something else. You are also free to not make that decision as well. This is power at its base. In terms of politics, that means whomever makes the decision is the one who holds power. Thus, in the EU--the power "belongs" to the Member States. In Spain, power is "shared" between the Communidades Autonomas and the National government. In a company, the person who makes the decision is the one that has the most "power." What's beautiful about a lot of life is when you can learn to share that "power." Democracy, ultimately means that you have to be willing to accept a reduction in your "power" so that you can come to a decision to which more people can agree.
