“…If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself…”
“…As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story….”
-- Desiderata by Max Ehrmann
You (WE) have an obligation to be compassionate towards and to try to protect even the dull and ignorant. For… if they cannot think for themselves and are politically impressionable… your duty is to stymie efforts to exploit them (e.g. you… being smarter and wiser… have good reason not to allow your dog to go into the street).
On the other hand… you have a right to the respect and consideration of those greater than you. And, you should require [of] them to look out for your best interest.
We are ALL equal in God’s eyes.
“…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”
Our beef is with the hierarchy… not with the dull and ignorant. We can make a difference in November.
