We celebrate "progress", celebrate "success", admire "the rich" and pity "the poor" ... We prioritize the needs of "the powerful" while taking a piss on "the lesser man" ... We all long to be "great", long to be "powerful", pray to be "rich" and hope to be "important" ... We strive to distance our tactics from those of "the lesser men" and only want to be associated with them on a charity basis.
What we fail to see is the role "the lesser man" plays in the achievements of the "the better man" .. If there were no poor then there will technically be no rich as the state of being wealthy can only be attained in a society with non wealthy people to make the comparison ... If there were no weak, there will technically be no strong as a man is considered strong only because there are many with less strength than himself ... Therefore, "the better man" needs "the lesser man" to be able to exist in an anal state of pride and superiority ... Yet more often than not, the former assumes a condescending position of mental arrogance and appalling stupidity, instigated by a system of misplaced priorities and dysfunctional elements ... The latter on the other hand have adopted a stereotypical prototype of chronic inferiority which is backed by the same questionable system that cant see past its own nose ...
This is the triumph of "the lesser man" ... The emancipation of the masses ... The vindication of the homeless bum and the justification of the underachiever; all who have been made to work according to the standards of a very narrow and infective system which defines accomplishment by a very biased and ignorant criteria ... Weep not oh ye souls of lesser emphasis and boast not oh ye clans of the elite . For you are equally of less importance in this equation called life

I could only nod my head in agreement at the...Circle of "Life".
I enjoyed this piece very much, the idea is familiar but the way it was displayed, totally original. Inspiring and thought-provoking :)
Your literary and intellectual sophistication has finally knocked me off my feet and i can refrain no further from commenting on your blog . However, As Nietzsche suffered from the "God" complex(which you must be familiar with), you seem to be treading dangerously on the lines of the "devil" complex(which you must also be familiar with). Over humility is a sin my friend :)
...or perhaps equally of greater importance depending on what half of the glass you choose to focus on?
Truly we are all intertwined and ultimately dependent upon one another. If this were universally known, maybe we would find ourselves in a quite different world than we live in today.
Kudos on such an insightful post!!!

Often times, isnt the "better man" simply the "lesser man" who has come to and epiphany on his state of degradation and gotten tired of his inferiority. He has accepted the unchanging fact that he dwells in a system of misplaced priorities and dysfunctional element, He has studied the flawed system and has clawed his his way from obscurity into the position of the better man. so in many cases the "better man" in essence, is the better man and the "lesser man", the lesser man
