It’s the development of a quality of connection that allows everyone’s needs to get met.' - Marshall B. Rosenberg, 'transcript of 2-day advanced intensive', [1]. The other's needs enter into the equation, in our thinking and consciousness.
Power-over:
We are only interested in getting our own needs met, _without_ taking into account the needs of other parties, and act accordingly out of that energy. Very often by using demands, apportioning blame, and other jackal tactics.
