The two can overlap, and you've already gotten into the overlapping in your post above. I think that recognizing our power makes us more responsive, more able, thus more responsible.
Hmm... I'm afraid you were right, I may have started a conversation that wasn't really a conversation at all. We may have hit a dead end already.

Sorry.
