Specifically, meaning making. The same situation can be perceived as negative, neutral, or positive all depending on how the individual interprets it.

The classic example that's a bit wrong is a glass of water half empty or half full.

The true optimist doesn't see it as half full, he sees it as full. Half with water, half with air (being grateful for the air as well.)

The neutral person sees it as half full, and the depressive sees it as half empty.

That's near the opposite of what Aristotle intended. He wrote about happiness as virtuous action, living well. He wasn't so internally oriented.

I would submit that all social relationships have power dynamics. Politics is about allocation of resources more than power accumulation. You may be conflating the two because more power allows you to allocate resources with less intereference.

It's more social, the translation of political is coming from polis; man is by nature meant to be part of a city or community.

In the original its meaning is being part of a greater unit.

of course they are. his original quote says 'political' but often translations or quotes may say 'social' (informally).
