Power and Times

There will be a time you have all the power, even more than needed to solve a problem.
There will also be a time as much as you strongly desire, you can't do a thing.
You are simply powerless.
And what do you do at the latter? You seek help around you. You may be favored. Problem solved.
Otherwise, there is nothing to do except to nurture hope and maybe a miracle will come if that will come.

I have read and seen that Man can be helpless in certain circumstances beyond their control.
And on the flip side, things just go the way you want it and for the humble, you pinch yourself and mutter to yourself  "Can this really be me?"
