It's unfair to say that because "one man's meat is another man's poison" that there is a right way and a wrong way. "Each to his own" is the retort when someone questions why you follow a particular track in life. It's not that you are being defensive but that your passage to where you are is simply too difficult to untangle.
Some
people are programmed from birth to ascend the throne as it were, the
family tradition the school ethos, the people you mix with determine who
you will become. You may be a good 'un or a bad 'un but you are clearly
recognisable as one of them.
There are shades of this "footstep following" in most areas of the social rainbow and it's only in the bottom, lower rungs that the muddy water dissolves any semblance of a ladder to anywhere. For these folk the best they can do is flounder around and make do
It seems unfair that ones birth is so uniquely important. Tied into the constraints of the the class tendril we are bred like mice to respond to stimuli around us and it's no wonder when virtually all stimuli is withheld, it takes a very special person to light their own fire to forge a path out of the swamp.
