Re: I think Gus sees many things driving around in his cab that piss him off. 51. Towards men of rank and position, we feel a sterile jealousy and an impotent hatred which do not make amends to us for their splendour or their status, and merely add to our own wretchedness the intolerable burden of another's good fortune. What can one do against so inveterate and contagious a sickness of the soul? Let us be content with little, and if possible with even less; let us learn how to endure loss: the prescription is an infallible one, and I am willing to put it to the test. I thus avoid having to bribe a porter or seduce a clerk; being driven from a minister's door by the countless hordes of petitioners or courtiers that it disgorges several times a day; cooling my heels in his waiting-room; begging for my rights, in fear and trembling; enduring his self-importance, his sneering laugh and his curt speech. Then I no longer hate him, I no longer envy him; he has nothing to ask me, nor I him; we are equal, except maybe that he is not at ease, and I am. 52. When the great might help us, they are seldom willing to; they may wish to harm us, but don't always find an opportunity. Thus our worship of them is mistaken, if it is grounded only on hope or fear; and a man may reach the end of a long life without being dependent on them in any respect, or owing his success or failure to them. We should honour them because they are high and we are humble, while we in turn are honoured by those who are humbler than ourselves. La Bruyère ourcivilisation.com
