Power or Money?

In most philosophical or strategic debates, people ask, Would you rather have power or money?

But the real question isn’t about preference. It’s about how the game is played, who’s on the board, rules, rewards. lifelines and what the metrics of success are.

For those caught in everyday systems, the difference becomes clear.

The game of power is rigid. It’s played on fixed boards, where rules aren’t discussed but imposed. Winning isn’t about skill or offering value. It’s about knowing where to stand, who not to question, and how to move without drawing heat. One wrong step, disaster !

The money game feels different. It moves faster. The players are many. If a door closes, another can be made. Money follows problem-solvers, builders, those who spot gaps and fill them. It rewards what is brought to the table.

Knowing which game is being played is the real power!

Cheers!
