Taking from someone with an intent to injure or defraud. Wrongful abstraction is an unauthorized and illegal withdrawing of funds or an appropriation of someone else's funds for the taker's own benefit. It may be a crime under the laws of a state. It is different from Embezzlement, which is a crime committed only if the taker had a lawful right to possession of the money when it was first taken.

| Becoming a skillful and effective leader is just as
developmental as spelling development or abstract thinking, and without
a reflective practice we sometimes jump over some vitally important
skill--and knowledge-building stages. They spoil the soul
and prevent you from getting in touch with the elements and
multidimensional movements and abstract thinking, and knowing where you
are at all times without looking at yourself. As learning animals
from a long line who picked up abstract thinking much more lately, we
often find, when devoted to learning a thing, that we're becoming
better at it than we yet know how to explain; I suspect that is
happening to him. |
