       Christians on the lower levels of consciousness, and definitely those who don’t closely follow Christianity, in a way desire for a preacher to be less than perfect, even to perhaps fail. Why is that? Well, the obvious answer becomes true: people wish to feel better about themselves in their lower level of thinking. People on the higher levels wish for their fellow peers to succeed, even those peers who are ranked in society above them. These kinds of people feel bad when a player on the opposing sports team is unable to get up because he is injured. The lower level person, though they may not express it, secretly is happy and delighted that the player was injured because they will take any advantage that will benefit their team and the winning of the game. We are talking about preachers here—that is what James is referring to—though this truth is seen in just about any celebrity, any person who is looked up to above the rest. Going back to sports, we know that a player can be either highly praised or highly criticized, depending on his or her performance for the game he or she just partook in. They can be a star one week, and highly disliked the next.
