The question being “Is any person inherently better than another?” This is not just a question, but a part of everyone’s reality. While humility is becoming more of a disappearing term, the pride in people is growing.

Humility – Someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others.

Embrace it! Your still the same person you were born as, and no baby is better than another. Life may shape us through experience, but you, me, the pharaohs and the kings, we were all born and we will all die.

Here’s an example: Who is better at doing things, a genius or a catatonic? The genius may be able to outrun, out think, out juggle, and out dance the catatonic, but the catatonic will still be best at staring at one spot while drooling.

and spam costs society tens of billions of dollars per year:

A truly impressive amount of destruction from such a small group of people.

Kutcher is better than most of us, but O. Winfrey is superior to us all. At the bottom of the Human Pyramid lies a solid foundation of email spammers.
