Chapter 147: The Five Powers

The search for power, influence, and authority has been the focal point of all matters that require attention and devotion, lest to realize that power is not everything, although when properly regulated would simply transform something evil into the common good. A necessary evil may justify any amount of attention to a cause of an act considered to be good, albeit when not corrupted.

That is how power comes into our cognizance. It simply attracts our senses, but more often it validates our own person as someone indispensable. When we allow authority to infect our conscience, it results in a struggle between accountability and moral decay. A rotting mind will always bring down morals into a class of corrupted thoughts, and this corruption is the necessary accessory to cut-throat power; and then, it becomes totally evil.

There are many sources of power, although one may not necessarily agree with the amount of importance attributed to it or the ranking of its enumeration. Power simply is boundless, its definition vague, and in most cases, its manifestation is confusing, if not presenting us with extreme difficulties.

Be that as it may, the characters of this story has presented us with the five powers from which their motivation has been thoroughly examined to be their destined objective, a definite desire, although predestination is a major debate from philosophers who might hear of it or pay attention to this claim in order to critique its subjective value. But this is especially evident for those characters (although not necessarily philosophers) from another story who might see the flaws in their motivated behavior, which might have resulted from their bizarre, twisted thoughts.

These five powers have been listed in no particular order, as mentioned in our caveat above. It is uncertain if any accuracy to this list was an issue to those who knew of it, but it is certainly made known to all men to be as such.

To wit, these powers are:

1. The Massachu;
2. Neurons;
3. Space and Time;
4. Sensory Perception;
5. Letters or Literature.
