Your measurement of successs seems to be nestled in what you can monetarily measure in wealth.. Or give in income and if you can’t then you have failed.
Living life to the fullest is found in a smile to someone that is not.. To opening a door for that person in front of you.. To donating your time to an organization you believe in like serving the homeless meals just because you have the time..To a simle, Thank You and to remembering you live once, don’t take anything for granted and to always to grateful .. every single day brings us some form of gratefulness if we just take one minute to observe it. And that doesn’t even take money.
Wealth of life is not found in money or the monetary things it offers...
You are correct, we differ in how our life is enriched by what we do, rather than what we buy... Money may make things easier but it doesn’t bring your happiness...
As for power Over you, if you allow them to be powerful over you in your every day life then just sit on your couch and don’t bother... Please forgive me but that is a cop out.

Again I see much of what you say & how you look at things is to be admired.
I need to point out again that what I see as problems are things built into our system of laws & rules that have been set up to aid some at the expense of others.
As an individual I am a part of what may be good or bad in it all.
But I speak of what is happening mostly to others & by others.
As an individual I have been able to get by better than most.
I feel that my being white played a large part in that.
I say that not in personal p***e or as a admission of guilt.
It is not to put my answers as being better than any one else's.
But to put us all on an even basis.
It is not what any one of us that has the right answers in complete form.
Even if one of us is totally right then:
What we all think still needs to be measured & weighted for the right conclusions.
While I find it hard to find the right words between us to reach a proper level of agreement between us.
It is important to continue.
I do think we both realize that what others think & do is important to both of us.
I say we both feel the need to be looked at as individuals.
Also too look at others as individuals.
For only if we treat others as individuals can we be seen as individuals.
I guess what it is that I want to see is for them to see what I see in others.
What I am so sure there that it holds the key to man kinds ultimate future.
It needs to be what each truly sees within them self that really matters.
For the true power & the true future of all to come is with in the hearts a soul of all of us.
Our task is to bring out the best in each other.
