     I feel that for humans, the Infinite goes deeper than it does for most of Earth's creatures. I think that when we get angry at a person with power, we aren't angry at the person wearing the mask that grants them authority, we're angry at those who gave them the authority in the first place. For every billionaire, celebrity, and great thinker, there are millions, perhaps billions, of people creating false versions of those they worship, beings of air and light who could be destroyed in an instant, some acting as decoys, others acting as proxy for the real thing. I can't help but wonder if the reason we force everyone to work isn't because we need to, but because if people didn't have to buy into the idea that power is special and desirable, everything the rich depend on would fall apart in an instant.
