This world is not ours

It is better, I think, to be the one that feeds on the change and gets the most out of it. Power comes and goes... In my life I have seen once strong powers fade away into obscurity, and new powers rise up. And those that feed off of those lost in the struggle are the only ones with any sort of guarenteed survival. Because there is always change, and always casualties of change, there is always sustenance.

It is better to feed on the dead, the casualties of change, then to let their bodies go to waste. Consume or be consumed. Gain strength or die. Do what you must, when you must, to always make sure you come out of whatever situation happens in the position with the most to gain. It's that simple. Power comes and goes, but change is constant. And therein lies true power.

Who's up for an expresso?

Sounds more like a hyena, vulture, fungus, or war profiteer. :P You must have the strength of will and position available to not be drawn into the struggle between the other powers and the strength of stomach to feast upon carrion.

I understand your premise. We are agreeing, just in different ways. The most mighty have the furthest to fall and are targets for the next guy in line. It is safer to be farther down the ladder or on a different ladder altogether. I think you are looking at the grand scale of things and I am looking at the individual events.
