    Raw power is stunning, but rarely is it warm and personal in the way we think of strength. Power explodes, while strength is channeled energy. Power unleashes force, but strength controls ability in very specific ways.

    Someone has even defined the gentle concept of meekness as “strength under control.”

    An atomic bomb is horrifyingly overwhelming, but the steady nuclear...
