Why do we as individuals, as a community, as a nation, as a world revel in maligning the rich and famous.
Why does a part of the collective, a part within each of us, have this need to put someone down.

Esp. when there's an opportunity for the slander of someone successful, or their family; especially if they have made it on their own terms as an 'outsider'. Worse still, if they don't toe the line and are not 'politically correct'. And God help them if they happen to be Muslim.

We grudge the rich their riches, the privileged their privileges, the famous their fame because of our own severe LACK or Scarcity Consciousness that we don't want to take ownership of. "How dare THEY have it all. It's not fair."

Because we don't know any better.
Because we are ignorant and immature.
Because we are children in adult bodies, who have a tendency to blame.

Because we all have such a low sense of self-worth, we feel GOOD about ourselves when we portray someone else in a bad light.
And it's so easy to do that as nameless faceless entities on social media.

The thing is, mindlessly typing crass words, creating disgusting memes from behind your screens does not need courage. It is a show of both cowardice and sloppy thinking; of minds that are trained to perpetuate hatred and conditioned to shame others.

In a few days we will celebrate #Dussehra, which we define as the victory of good over evil, of vanquishing the demon. What would help is focusing on our inner demons and not making others' misfortune/flaws/mistakes/vices/personality traits our business.
