Why not?

I don’t want to stand above someone as if I am some sort of God-man. Yet sometimes that feels like the only way to get all the people in line. Only when they see something commanding over them is when they will do what they were always supposed to. That is the entire point of hierarchy, there is someone over you that accounts for you. Simple as that. Just like the cat accounts for the mouse. Yet the problem arises not when someone is above you, but when people decide to be below you.

You might think that it’s great, but I am simply being put above everyone. Which must mean that I am doing something right, right? This was something that always put me off. That despite how little people know of you, they will easily decide where your place is in the world in relation to them and slowly that’s what you live like. Because it does not matter how much of a good person I am, unless people will see me that way they will not treat me well. Yet, often I see that when people put someone above someone else it seems as if the basis is as concrete as water.

By no means do I think that everyone in this world comes out exactly the same as another. The whole point of our existence is its diversity. Sometimes I think it may be required to stand above others to tell them what they want because they don’t know what it is. It may not seem just, but it is what I see. It may be easy for one to say that the other makes bad decisions when they have most things going right for them yet, the factor of choice is definitely present. That’s where the help is needed. Who will give this help? Who will decide whether the help given is right or not? What must you become to be worthy of this selection?

God amongst men, mere mortals. Yet then why would they choose to stay amongst us? Is there any reason for them to want to help us? Possibly there isn’t any reason for them to help us at all. All that they want is to be above. That is what we end up making them. Without any consideration or understanding, we put them on this pedestal that we will not be able to remove them off of. That’s what sparks the real question. Are these gods that we have made ourselves? What would it mean for one to become like these gods?

If we are the ones that have made these goods, why can we not choose to be them ourselves? Why must we make another person stand above us to hold us accountable? Why can I not make myself the one to be above everyone else? Well, here I am back in the circle. I have come to want the same thing that I thought was not right for me. I guess that is the point of my rambling.
