    the purpose of:
    1. Preventing or overcoming resistance to the taking of the property
    or to the retention thereof immediately after the taking; or
    2. Compelling the owner of such property or another person to deliver

    Power and Hurt

    Ecclesiastes 8

    9   All this have I seen, even applied my heart thereto, whatever the work that is done under the sun; 
    what time one man had power over another to his hurt.

    What gives a word power

    Or should I say authority
    Should I expand it to signs and any symbols 

    Consequences 
    Evidence
    Force
    Fear
     (Fear of what?)
    The speaker
    The listener

    Compassion
    Common courtesy 
    Decency
    Respect
