System Within the System

There is another source of harm to men: the man who needs another man to be beneath him.

The bigger despises the smaller, the stronger the weaker, the taller the shorter, the more physically able the man whose ability lies elsewhere.

This is culture inside the culture: a system that taught man to turn difference into rank.

Some men move weight.
Others understand where the weight should go.
Some perform the motion.

Others design the arrangement.
Some endure the load.
Others see the structure holding it.

Without one there is no other.
Without the other there is no whole.

Comparison turns difference into hierarchy. Brotherhood turns difference into function.

When two men stand beside one another without measuring, the body changes.
Breath slows, the chest opens, the arms stop preparing.

That is not weakness.
It is the body returning to what existed before comparison was taught.

Respect another man as you respect yourself.
That is the stance of Nature, not culture.

Around which men does your body still become smaller before a word is spoken?
