Don’t be disillusioned � having a character could earn you a number of enemies.

It’s odd when you think of it actually, why would anyone be threatened by your character? Is it because you will not let them boss you around, therefore you will be minimizing their “power”? Or is it an indication of something else? Is society ill?

I am positive a lot of people have faced situations where a person, or a group of people, has deliberately tried to put them down. For a number of motives or reasons, mostly obscure, the general public (uppity term?) tend to desire to pull one down at every corner of his or her advancement.

It’s a fascinating phenomenon. The human race has advanced in certain ways but has also kept some very eerie habits of advancement. Think of it this way: A good employee is threatened by colleagues’ jealousy and/or envy and is hammered whenever the chance arises. It should be more ethical to try to surpass that person in the field of his work to reach the same results of stabbing him in the back, but it rarely happens. It’s his character that is threatening, not the job he gets done. This jeopardizes his opponents’ character influence in the work space and is exactly why this person should be, at the very least, tamed.

Is being unethical necessary for personal gain? And, more importantly, is having a character a threat to others?
