A Story About What Makes Someone Truly Powerful

Don Rodrigo believed power came from ownership.

From wealth.

From making others obey.

But history remembers a different kind of power.

The power of compassion.

The power of courage.

The power of refusing to become cruel simply because cruelty was shown to you.

The man he considered a possession became the person who showed the greatest humanity.

The daughter he considered worthless became someone whose spirit could not be broken.
