Plus, Paarth has Kyne's power on his side, and he only meditates to A: like I said, it gives him more power over the Voice, i.e. fire breath, ice breath and B: It keeps the power hungry part inside of him oppressed.

If you have played any games at all, you would know that people who seek great power is undermined by that same power. They become self-centered, ignorant, and think themselves better and stronger than everyone.

Take Ganondorf for example. He sought the ultimate power (the Triforce) and obtained it, and then he thought himself more powerful than everyone else, because he has this power. Alduin seeks the power of souls (the Triforce, in this example) to become stronger. He's always had that "im better" mindset.

And then there are the heroes with courage. Link/The Dragonborn are the "leaders" of courage. All the other good guys (Paarthurnax, Ulfric/Tullius, etc) are the other courageous souls. Courage gives you more power than Wisdom or Power ever can itself.

All in all, Paarth has courage to keep the world safe and therefore he is stronger. Again false If that were true he wouldnt have needed the Dragonborn to help fight against Alduin,It was the Dragonborn who kicked Alduins ass not Paarthurnax,and a day later the Dragonborn kicked Paarthurnaxs ass as well.
