Empowerment is a thing that you earn over time - as you overcome obstacles, learn, and accomplish things, you become empowered. Empowerment is not a thing that you are born with and that the parent's job is to get out of the way of. Empowerment is a thing that you earn. And some of that is that you become empowered by knowing that you were disempowered or by knowing that there were tremendous limits on what you were able to do, as a young person.

If only the authorities could be made to realize that the forces leading them on in the armament race are just insane.
Only the insane equate pain with success.
These television shows that have 14 shots of somebody looking at each other with the wind blowing through their hair drive me insane.
