It is all in a name

 I was thinking the other day about names and titles.  We feel required to give people titles and in some cases it is helpful in organization - mostly to assign responsibilities.  Then there are honorary titles such as Mayor of the Day,  Woman of the year, Student of the Month.  In sports there are winners - Champions, but with the adder of a year to differentiate that this is not a permanent position.  Then there are elected positions from the President right down to dog catcher.  Positions chosen by the people to serve the people.  But some do not understand that.  They wear and use the title as that of privilege.  That it makes them special and people need to bow down before them.  They feel they have earned it in perpetuity.

But titles are fleeting, and it is not the title that gives you respect, it is your actions while you carry that title that is important.  Now if we only can convince people to use some humility when they are given a title.  Nah - never happen...
