There will always be those who place themselves above others, who believe they are more important, smarter, or wiser. This is but an illusion that takes place in the minds of the selfish.
It does not matter how much knowledge you have or how much experience you have gained, you are no better than the next man.
Yes, man is given status in life. Some people become Kings and Queens, CEO's and Managers, Teachers and Politicians, etc. These and many other titles deserve respect, but even the best of these do not think themselves above others.
The great men and women of our world have worked alongside those whom they were given stewardship over. The worst men and women in history were those who thought themselves better deserving of life and all its glory than others.
Remember why we are here on this Earth. We are to uplift and inspire each other, but this is only possible if each man and woman views their own life and the lives of each individual around them as the equals they are.

Thanks for reminding us what the key to success is :D
ReplyDeleteYou should read a book a friend of mine from BYU Hawaii wrote called "The Power of Starting Something Stupid" by Richie Norton. Look him up, he's very successful and such an inspiration to others but thinks himself an ordinary guy. Your statement reminded me of him...it's a great reminder!
ReplyDeleteI will for sure look him up. Thanks for the source!
