Pride and Ego.
To some people, they can die for it.
Its not about whether one is or not a christian.
A person with a good character may not be a christian.
And i know there are.
A person being high in status does not mean they can treat others without respect.
Being a person high in status means one is qualified because of him/her is able to handle matters well and i believe, good character and build relationships well.
I believe this is common sense;
One wants respect have to earn it onself. The basic.
Being a person that is high in status does not mean one is always right.
Being a person that is high in status have flaws that others see.
A person with good character don't not goes blaming others for what one is responsible for.
A person high in status does not means one can be lazy.
A person high in status means something, there for a purpose.

I don't give a damm about losing if i can make sense to your brain.
