NOW I'm confused.  If it is a process in society to affix some measure of
superior and inferior (as well as other measures), and that is a process
that you are interested in maintaining, how can you then say nobody has
the right or competence to tell you what you're worth?  Who, in your
personal case, stands in for "society"?
