Beyonce composed a lyric that struck a cord in me in her 2009 song "upgrade you". she displayed the skills of a purring tigress, feigning a flamboyant seductress or perhaps a lavishly spoilt and extravagant queen, exhibiting her glory in order to entice a male counterpart. The fact that we know her rapper hubby Jay Z is equally well to do suggests that she's probably teaching him how to spend his fortune or shes bountifully complementing it.
In reality, stagnant water really does stink, no right thinking human being wants to remain in one spot, naturally. Even kids want to explore and exploit their environment, facing their fear, protecting their territory and of course discovering new grounds.
This is a natural principle which enables one to keep pushing forward especially if he makes little progress from time to time as his curiosity receives more and more satisfaction.
So who wants a downgrade?, well i guess that will only be one who is in electric shock, of course he'll want the current passing through him to be downgraded and also one in a turbulent aircraft "come down gently", or as Ludacris would like it "how low can you go?".
Seriously though, don't you dare embarrass me in public, that will only tempt me to hate you because of the perhaps ignorance that makes you to destructively criticize, or as Stephen .R Covey of blessed memory perfectly puts it in his internationally acclaimed world best seller 7 habits of highly effective people, about what happens when a father scolds his daughter sternly enough to disgrace her " she becomes outwardly submissive but inwardly rebellious, suppressing cruel feelings only to come out in the future in uglier ways".
So in other wards, we are nice for our own good, and cruel to our detriment. Downgrading someone can get an immediate reaction of defensiveness from an explosive person, and can on the other hand be bottled up in the seclusive mind of an implosive person and may in the future blow up in our faces like the bomb of terrorists.
