Pecking Order

We are not born good. What this translates into is that we loathe ourselves. Since we hate ourselves and have no self-esteem, we are mean to ourselves and others, unless reared to be decent to ourselves and others too by extension.

Because we are so naturally insecure, and crave esteem and pride, when we seek short cuts and artificial self-exultation, then we set up cliques with ins and out, and a pecking order with those down below to snub and pick on.

All of this is generated from human egos that are shattered and frustrated. When we do not feel good about ourselves no matter how hard we try, it is very tempting to feel temporarily superior by putting down someone weaker or less fortunate than ourselves.
