Does anyone know what is meant by the line, "Power is made by power being taken."?
  In general, For One to have the Upper Hand. In youth, one is taught all things are fair or will be in time. As an adult, one finds it is rather the contrary. 

So, you take another's power there by increasing your own. One problem with this scenario, however: Kharma is a bio tch. There's always a bigger fish into any tributary. As the song goes...keep running to protect your situation. Right?

Thanks for your response, I do like "Vultures", but I certainly take issue with that notion.  To me, power is an inside job.  Gary Zukav speaks of "authentic" verses "external" power.  Authentic Power requires no protection and is not based on fear.  ...and, oh yeah, that Karma thing-ma-jiggy really sucks.  smiley: frown  Thanks again.
