Between the Lines; #influence #power #politics

This is the problem when people are extremely powerful - and its quite simple to know how to do what they want ... without the extremely powerful person having to do anything beyond making a random utterance.

People also might do things just because they imagine they should; to stay in good favor with a dragon that could devour them at any time.

Some people's words - cause others to act and react - in very ignorant ways; as if a silent whistle has been blown.  This seems to be an important part of human survival; at first on accident, then on purpose... you can make illegal things happen, without breaking the law technically*.

There are loopholes with everything - especially committing a crime on behalf of a man that can instantly forgive and reward you for an evil act.  The following fits one of these couple imaginings, as to how small words have big outcomes.

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" (also expressed as "troublesome priest" or "meddlesome priest") is a quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170.
