The maid comes in, carrying a tray, happy and enthusiastic, as a nobleman looks at her with a frown. He takes a golden goblet from the tray and makes a grumpy comment. The jester observes the incident, takes the tray from the maid and hands it to the grumpy nobleman, puts his arm around the maid’s waist and leads her away with a smile on his face.
"Once upon a time, there was a free man who put people above the Law of Jante."
The notion of Law of Jante
Below, the Law of Jante is reprinted to remind us all of the unloving worldview we need to push back against with all our might:
- You’re not to think you are anything special.
- You’re not to think you are as good as we are.
- You’re not to think you are smarter than we are.
- You’re not to imagine yourself better than we are.
- You’re not to think you know more than we do.
- You’re not to think you are more important than we are.
- You’re not to think you are good at anything.
