Invisible Power

• Power is always present in society, but it becomes invisible when it aligns with our moral vision and traditions.
• Laws and regulations feel less oppressive when they encourage behaviors we already consider good and right.
• The feeling of oppression arises when power compels actions contrary to our values.
• Many people mistake the invisibility of power for its absence, failing to recognize its influence until it shifts against their beliefs.
• True liberty is not simply the absence of restrictions but the ability to live a virtuous life within a cultural context, supported by a government that enables human flourishing.
