It is not just the law that makes us care for one another. Why else would someone who finds a valuable possession try to return it to the rightful owner? Why would we mark the years passing of an intervention which perhaps saved the life of a person we have only met through this forum?
Some strive for power. Some strive for balance.

The two are not mutually exclusive.
Some strive for balance and once achieved strive for power. Actually one has innate or vertical power if one has balance.
Most people will always be in the process of trying to achieve balance even if they have achieved power.
Balance is a great euphemism for intergrating the self. That said I long ago achieved balance and have an inner equilibrium even under extreme stress. That is not to say that I don't have existential struggles that are associated with life. But my problems are external and not internal.
