Some
people
tower
above
others
because
of innate
greatness
and effort.
They have
earned their
godlike glory.
Many
others
lord
them-
selves
above
all of us
because
they are
egotistical
seekers of an
unearned glory.
Their
Babel-
esque
boasts
sound
to us as
if they were
unintelligible
gibberish from
distant, foreign
lands. To listen to
them is to be deaf.
These
Simon
Stylites
would
attain
heaven,
but they’d
best beware
of falling from
so far a height as
to crash on the land,
bore a hole into it, and
end up in the lowest hell.
