I really like this, and it made me think about power differently. Power itself is an experience, one I imagine many souls encounter at some point, but hoarding it feels like the moment it stops being lived and starts being clung to. What I really loved here is the distinction between accumulation and experience. The latter changes us; the former turns to dust.

Wow! I absolutely love this. I’m a huge fan of Ozymandius. So this hit me hard, to use a cliche. lol
