I tend to find this blog again every once-in-a-blue-moon.

Okay, so why not get personal this time? I have a job at a grocery store called Brookshires. It's just a small town hick-store, pretty easy work considering I'm a cashier. Although I envy the workers in the gas station who sit there and play on their phones and get paid as much as I do.

I'm 17, turning 18 in about a month. I'm graduating in just a couple of short months. So I must ask the ever living question, what next? Well, I was supposed to take an exam for the military called the ASVAB a couple of months ago, but they pushed it back to April. It decides what positional placements you are eligible for when you sign with the military. I plan on joining either the Air Force, or the Navy ( my grandfather was a chief petty officer in the Navy )

Okay, so in regard to actual science, I was thinking about an instance in my very far past where I was talking to a psychologist or therapist or something, and they asked if I felt any power over them. This question stuck I guess, it was quizzing to my small brain at the time. I have just now found the solution to her question, the answer is yes. Yes I did, or at least I would now.

People say knowledge is power, I disagree with that. They are not directly related.

Knowledge is a reaction of a good memory, and a good memory requires a high level of intellect to use correctly in order to gain power.

So knowledge isn't power, intelligence isn't power, so what is power? What causes people to follow a single individual to the end? Fear? maybe, although I find the most powerful way to get people to follow you is to make them think you know what you're doing and they don't, giving you a chance to actually be at a higher level of knowledge than they are.

All of this leads to the simple fact that comprehension is power, how you perceive other people gives you either a reason to follow them or get them to follow you.
