If there is any concept that comes closest to being synonymous with power. It isn't wealth, violence, knowledge etc but freedom.
When John Locke phrased "Life, liberty, and property" there is a reason he put life and liberty before the property, putting things in that order meant something. Freedom is power over your own self. Power is freedom for yourself and then some more...
Of course one can strive for both wealth and power, but if one has to choose only one among them two. A wise man would always pick the latter.
When you retain power, wealth always follows even if with a delay. But if you forego power, all your wealth will always be a borrowed asset, and you will never have the leverage to bargain to your liking.

Scientists have discovered an ocean located 700 km below Earth's surface, within a mineral called ringwoodite. This ocean exists in the Earth's transition zone.
- Ringwoodite is a rare mineral that forms from olivine under extremely high pressures and temperatures. Its unique crystal structure allows it to absorb water and hydrogen, acting like a sponge.
- The heavyweight of rocks and high temperatures deep within the Earth break down water into its components.
➡️Significance of Discovery:
- The hidden ocean within ringwoodite is larger than all surface oceans combined, challenging current theories on Earth's water sources and prompting new inquiries into its formation.
- The discovery suggests that Earth's water may have originated deep within the planet and slowly leaked out over time, explaining the abundance of water on the surface.
- This internal water source could influence volcanic activity and the formation of new crust, shedding light on Earth's geological processes.
