This is interesting, that b'aal agula means master of the wheel and has come to mean a thug. I think that yakuza originally meant a bad roll of the dice and of course now means gangster. And big wheel doesn't necessarily have the sinister implication but it can denote a big time criminal. It would be fascinating to really look at the etymology of those words and see if there's some deeper archetype that they represent in human thought.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
