Why is the self proclaimed status any different whether its someone
calling themselves doctor because they did a thesis or med school,
and graduated, or calling themselves enlightened because they did
self realization school, and graduated? Either way there has been an
achievement, but so what? Life is full of achievements. Why are
either of them, the doc or the enlightened, or both of them,
considered "superior" as a result? And why not just recognize them
for what they have accomplished? I don't get the issue with that.:-)
