Creator  to  make  you  an  elite,  superior  human  being?  Or
            rather are we supposed to use our gifts to contribute to our
            community      and    society,   striving   for   personal
            accomplishments  using  compassion,  empathy  and  good
            grace -- making our world a better place for everyone. And
            maybe, just maybe, to reach out and assist the less fortunate
            among us, selflessly sharing our fortunate, random gifts? I
            think by now you know the answer.

            Simply  stated,  a  person  is  judged  by  the  content  of  his
            character,  his  personal  integrity,  and  the  truth  manifested
            within their soul. These are the accomplishments you must
            strive for, and yes, a little pride might be warranted as they
            are achieved. But even as you arrive at such lofty heights,
            know  that  while  you  will  certainly  have  made  yourself  a
            better  person  compared  to  who  you  once  were,  you  will
            never, ever, ever be patently superior to any other human
            being. Just lucky and different.

            I believe that the closer we get to this point, the more deep
            pleasure we will feel and the happier we will be. And in the
            absence of all the pressures of becoming and maintaining a
            superior being to anyone, our deep, personal truths will be
            revealed  and  we  will  become  ever-closer  to  a  wonderful
            feeling of an all-encompassing personal peace. Nirvana.



                 The Prolific are not Necessarily The Righteous

            It  is  not  just  racism  that  plagues  us.  In  many  human
            societies, any kind of minority is in danger of subjugation.
            Even  if  the  minority  has  similar  physical  traits,  it  would
            seem  that  something  as  seemingly  inconsequential  as  a
            smaller number of people sharing a community is a reason
            to treat them as sub-human.
