the forbearance and real charity of the superior athlete or intellect
toward those of lesser abilties. In reciprocation, their respectful
admiration and joy at the guidance and the example of phenomenal
performance. A respectful taking on of the mantle and in return a
kind of piety, an assigning of importance. That’s the ideal anyway.
Falling short of that is disdain of the superior intellect and mighty
and envy, schadenfreude all around. Money, power, recognition all
offer their escapes from the execrable nature of this fallout in the
natural order.
