While it is soething to be scorned, it's impossible not to be a hypocrite. Call it evolutionary selfishness, or human nature, or the devil's work, and everyone does it; the powerful are simply better.

This is why the argument of "put yourself in my shoes" isn't a particularly good one, even if it does appeal to compassion. It's just as easy to say to the powerless if they had the power they'd do the same.

Cold, but realistic no?
