Power is defined as “the potential ability to influence behaviour, to change the course of events, to overcome resistance, and to convince people to do things that they would not do otherwise.” (Pfeffer, 1992. p.29).

Despite the high possibility of present-day people to prevent future people to experience any suffering, I shall argue that future generations—who have neither reciprocal interactions with this generation nor power to influence our well-being—do not own the rights upon obligation from present people. I contend that it is impossible for people from this generation to have obligations to future generation. In the first place, obligations is a socially-constructed

The Pursuit of Happyness caught my attention as an attractive movie, then an inspiring story, and now an inner power source of mine. Whenever there is a low mood sneaking nearby, I would watch it all over again to regain strength to fight. Great story makes great film, and great character gives soul to it.
