Hard not to be curious how what criteria you use to deem others lesser than you.
I was wondering if you were going to ask that. Immediately after I pressed “submit”, I wanted to change it. It isn’t about lesser or greater – it’s about people I respect. I care [on a personal level] what people who I respect think of me.
To answer your question somewhat indirectly [to allay your fears?], I don’t define “lesser” by somebody less talented, of lesser intellect or lower religious values than myself. And although unasked, I’ll let you know that respect doesn’t come from people being more talented, intellectual or higher religious values than myself.
