Post #1: Climbing the Ladder
I have always been fond of ladders. They have hierarchy- purpose even and you must climb the rungs to reach the ultimate goal and triumph. The top. But the construction of the ladder is interesting. Multiple individuals can be each on rung. Hell if you wanted you can hang off the middle rung and still be able to survive. But only one can stand on the top. And everyone below must wait silently for their turn. They look up at the guy on the top. Some waiting for him to fall so they can climb. Others hold him up when his rung is weakened. Some push him off. It's continuous cycle I've come to enjoy watching. But the question is posed: where are you on the ladder?
