Every Single Word

To exert power over someone who never defends themselves is not strength. It's cowardice. And it does not require a fist or a sudden open hand. It just requires the wrong words at the wrong time with the wrong intention. Control, manipulation, lies, and selfishness overpower any ounce of love as compassion and empathy give way to narcissism and greed. This is not what defines a powerful man or woman. It is what reduces them to monsters and beasts.
