You can't say love and power, that's just power disguised as love. You preach one thing but whenever someone doesn't agree with you. Power is used to keep them in line, so in the end power is all that matters. I for one think power is the key.
Look at our own world, laws are reinforced in order to maintain peace and that requires power, the fear of punishment keeps us from doing whatever we please. Without power, humanity would never have been able to create a civilization.
