Hello Hive Learners Community!! Power means different to everyone as well power can be defined as the ability to control, influence and shape someone life. It is upto a person how one utilities one's power and designation. Socio-political and economic power help in achieving desired outcomes and organizing events.
Before heading forward to the today's blog deeply I'm going to share with you an inspiring dialogue scene reflecting the significance of power in series "Game of Thrones" 👇
A Personal Experience :

Today I'm going to share with you some emotional moments of life where powerful people try to influence my life and shape my future as they desired. I belong to a middle class family where every member of the family have to grind to earn bread and butter. Although in Pakistan corruption has rooted firmly yet our parents teaches us to be honest and follow the law and order. In our locality a political family lived. May be in 2010 one of their family member served as the Chairman or Councilor of the locality. Once few years back, I stopped them for playing political anthems in the town and stop firing for celebrations. Firing on residential area is unlawful but because of political background regional police did not dare to touch them.
I'm a man of my own principles and injustice is unbearable for me. My complaints against the goon wasn't accepted in the local police station. I didn't gave up and consulted to a lawyer. I launched the writ petition against the political activist of my locality as well regional police officers. I have to visit twice and thrice to court and chambers of our lawyer. In between the legal proceedings the opponent tried to initiate false criminal proceedings against my family. I faced all the challenges on my way and after 3 months of long proceedings the opponent apologize the residents of our town and sgined a contract with the consent to avoid unlawful activities.
Lesson Learned :

The above mentioned experience made me strong man who is determined, respectful to principles and laws. I learned standing up for justice, perseverance, and principles lead to positive change, personal growth, and accountability, inspiring others to do same.
Responsible Use Of Power :

Wherever we are, we need to be humble and realize that we are human. Power should be used to serve humanity. If we have authority over someone or something we shouldn't abuse the power
Without beating about the bush I would wrap up the article with following lines 👇 :
