Daniel 8 is a vision of Daniel about how we butt heads with each other in our world.  We knock heads over all kinds of issues trying to gain more power than others.  But, at the end of the chapter, he says that if you abuse your power, or misuse your power, you will lose your power.  God will break those who use their power inappropriately.  Instead, it's a call to work together, to collaborate, and to build a team that will serve God and serve the world.
