Vulgarity

A vulgar king excites his vulgar people,

making them believe they are not base

and nourishing their easy self-satisfaction.

Nothing is more harmful to human beings than

to encourage their sense of always being right

because it obscures from them the real truth:

that all of us need lots of self-correction

just to be worthy of living together with others.

But let people hide from themselves their own imperfections,

and they insist that others flatter their flaws

and try to demand that the higher rot like the lower

and curse at the higher for being clearly higher

and rage and rage and rage and rage and rage

in spiteful, hateful, Satanic, selfish pride.

A vulgar people adores their vulgar king

who drags both them and their betters down to hell.
