What Makes Me Feel Powerful And Also the Powerless

The Powerful:

Is it the understanding of all things around you, or being able to figure out a problem fast? Well for me it's both. You feel powerful and positive inside, when you know something without struggling with it. I think that this is something we should all feel powerful with. That your not just sitting there wondering what if, when you can know what. If you were to ace a test you would feel happy but at the same time I think most of us would surely feel powerful. Power comes from within, first you have to want to be powerful. If you don't believe or want, you simply wont achieve.

The Powerless:

Maybe it's not knowing, and never being able to know. Having a negative output and keeping it. The basics are not understanding. Being frustrated is the most hard thing to overcome. If you do not understand and don't care that word "powerless" will never leave the human mind. If I don't understand and keep trying and still its a little bit cloudy I feel powerless. Or if a member in your family, a love one has past away and there was nothing you personally could do to change it, then i would feel the most powerless of all. I think this is a situation many of teens have had to live through.
