I learned at an early age that I had more in common with the guy digging the ditch, than with the guy paying him to do so. I suppose that I had that working class chip on my shoulder, and felt everyone was better and more deserving than I was. I now realise that there is very little difference between any of us, we all need others.
Through total choice I choose to have different facets to my life. One day I am digging the ground, and the next day I am travelling in my mind whilst writing. No side of me is more important or superior to the other. Both are required for my well being.
Those formative years taught me not to walk behind any man, not to walk in front of any man, but to walk by their side. Not any one of us are better than anyone else, just different. However, because of wealth or education some may think they are. In my experience the wisest and richest people are the people who are kind, and give respect to all. After all, does a rich arrogant man have more friends than a poor kind man? And the richest people in the whole world, are the ones with friends. Respect to you all.
