Martyrdom. Self-sacrifice. Denial of attachments within the self that are not emptied.
Power is of its own sake as there is nothing without unity within the all-self; Power is all; Powerlessness is all; Both empty.
The use of power towards greater ends beyond the present moment is endless battle, for good or bad; This fighting is the vice of excess compassion that destroys philosophy, destroys worlds; No wisdom, no food, no water, no service to perform as all power has been used towards a battle one had no chance of winning: Empty triumphs as all triumph will be.
Power towards more compassion than one can bear while not taking care of the self is the same will that brings the negative polarity to deny all: Unable to cope with its compassion unfulfilled towards either self or other.
Martyrs beware! Martyrs beware! Martyrs beware!
