Such people derive their essence from the environment they are in. Thus in this subset class generalisations <i>are</i> valid, by their own choice.<br /><br />So while some of them assume an air of importance and command, the others follow.<br /><br />The former does not value Individual freedom or suppresses it since it might make them lose hold of their subjects.<br /><br />The latter might have a speck of liberty but willingly submits to the former since everyone else is doing so.<br /><br />There might be people born with "ability" (Though somehow I don't like to think so). Yet, ability can also be <i>developed</i>. Also, intuitively, I think every human <i>knows</i> the ability they'd like to possess. But few pursue the chase, mostly out of fear. <br /><br />However, look at someone whose ambition is to command others. If such a person had any ability, they would never think of limiting others' freedom and stopping them from using and cultivating theirs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364648261052014402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124546431971631325.post-41000770925159919822010-05-05T22:30:21.025+05:302010-05-05T22:30:21.025+05:30@Priyanka: Vice versa, I hope.

Sure, there's the whole thing about a vast majority of society being composed of deadbeat plebeians, and having to go upstream against a sea of decadence to differ. But is it really just the ruling class? Talk bourgeois or prole, the plague gets them all. <br /><br />It takes either struggle, or sufficiently flexible ethics to achieve power. Anyone with ability only has a edge over the others, either way. Nothing really can stand too long in the face of sheer ability.Sherry Wasandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02070127948095554465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124546431971631325.post-81377615148266012782010-05-04T07:59:32.953+05:302010-05-04T07:59:32.953+05:30And could I disagree with you when you say we coul...And could I disagree with you when you say we could be mind twins?<br /><br />Let me know when you find a way out.
