Elite: the choicest or best of anything considered collectively, especially of a group or class of people. So imagine if we viewed the totality of humans to be elite and avoided sub classifications. Just treat each other with respect and recognition that each of us is sharing in this extraordinary experience! Consider a homeless person, someone maimed, someone with a low intellect or a birth defect. Think about the challenges they are faced with and the elite class they are in by being able to survive against so many obstacles. Due to unforeseen circumstances they are materially crippled in a way, but still are able to find joy and have the ability to imagine and appreciate life and keep on keeping on. Could you or me deal with these kinds of roadblocks and still keep the desire to live and breathe? So why would we not consider them to be of ‘elite’ status? Most of us enjoy competition, but would it not be prudent that our principle competition should be with ourself to be a superior human being and not be concerned with getting one up on those around us….
