I agree with Nau7Kik. Power isn't the issue. It is whether or not the entity gains it by controlling, dominating, or transgressing the free will of another. Same with how they wield it.
Ditto for STS. If you derive your service to self by controlling, dominating, or transgressing the free will of another, you are skipping down the negative path whistling Darth Vader's theme music. Some STS, is more like self care: exercise, nutrition, meditation, time in nature, etc. Those are "serving" the self but in a way that honors the self and the Infinite Creator.
Ditto for money.
Heck...ditto for everything.
The reason power has such a negative connotation is that subjugation, deception and stomping free will are often the costs of doing business when trying to attain power and, human ambition being what it is, a lot of people - the vast majority I'd guess - are only too willing to pay. It's the old "made a deal with the devil" idea that what you have to give up to get what you want involves your soul, humanity, your Mom or your kid. Your spirit has to be in a very negative place to make that trade and what you are getting in return - power. money whatever, are perceived as equally corrupt due the intent behind the transaction.
