today I heard....

heard one of those "sayings" today -- 

"it is often/always necessary to have someone/some group to look down on". 

Was said by an immigrant to this country and many people really believe such. Because ???? Comment about why if you like.

On the other hand, I rather hope we live and prosper and develop and grow when we look up to the best the world has to offer be it humanity or other fauna and flora. The majesty of a Giant Redwood is inspiring. The Grand Canyon (adding the mineral world) is inspiring.... 

SO - look up!
