The In-Crowd

I realize that I am repeating points that I have made elsewhere ad museum, but when people have a tight clique, and some natural talent, the leader of that clique holds the power that there is to wield in this small group.

When they send out a poster informing others in the community that they are cool, the winners, the in-crowd, they are setting up the social stratification at that locale, self-assigning their role as the big fish in this little pond.

They may be popular, and they may be impressive to the gullible and shallow in their little pond, but they are are nobody if compared against great souls.

Because they detest themselves, and are voraciously insecure, cannibalizing their sense of self-respect, they invent this social hierarchy to assure the world and themselves of their worth, rank and importance.

What so ironic is that, if they would abandon group-living, replacing it with individual-living, they would know real-self-esteem and work impressive wonders in what they build, save and create.

Then they could replace a phony empty, put-up aura of worth with substantial, sustainable self-worth.
