powerful person vs Strong person

Power refers to the freedom persons have within limits, strength to the freedom persons have with limits.

Power 是人们在限制中所具有的自由，而Strength指的是伴随着限制的自由

Power承认限制的存在，不会试图突破它，而Strength承认限制的存在，承认存在边界，但无限游戏就是和边界玩游戏，一个资源不够，就想办法用其他资源来弥补，不会因为限制的存在，而停止自己想做的事情。

力量是具有悖论性的，我有力量并不是因为我能通过与他人竞争的结果去强迫他人做我想做的事，而是由于我能允许他们在我与他们竞争的过程中做他们想做的事。

We need a term that will stand in contrast to “power” as it acquires its meaning in finite play. Let us say that where the finite player plays to be powerful *the infinite player plays *with strength.

A powerful person is one who brings the past to an outcome, settling all its unresolved issues. A strong person is one who carries the past into the future, showing that none of its issues is capable of resolution. Power is concerned with what has already happened; strength with what has yet to happen. Power is finite in amount. Strength cannot be measured, because it is an opening and not a closing act. Power refers to the freedom persons have within limits, strength to the freedom persons have with limits.

Power will always be restricted to a relatively small number of selected persons. Anyone can be strong.

Strength is paradoxical. I am not strong because I can force others to do what I wish as a result of my play with them, but because I can allow them to do what they wish in the course of my play with them.
