"the most powerful person on earth"

here is an odd idea from a TV show. just a fast thought.

my wife watches "commander in chief" and i watched it with her the other night. in it, Geena Davis comments at the end of the show about the thrill of being the most powerful person in the world.

...the thing is, during that episode, her character does everything in her power to de-escalate a conflict. there is a radical idea. the thrill of power combined with the desire to not use that power, but to involve all parties and allow consensus.

it is only a TV show, and only a character, and only a writers idea. but i would still like to see it in the real world. i would like to see what i think of (the taoist in me sees it this way) as a more feminine approach to power. let me say that i don't phrase it so because i think that all women would take that path, or because i think men won't, only that in the taoist framework i am comfortable with it would be seen as "feminine" as opposed to a "masculine" view stating that "power should be used to force others to your view point." the actual gender of the person is not important, the attitude is.
