A toddler is a giant when standing on the highest surface in a playground. Later, reaching the top branch of a tree means a child has reached the top of their world. Now I'm sitting on top of 12 story building and can see the tops I thousands of trees. Shouldn't I feel like I own the world? Like everything is tiny in comparison to me?
It doesn't. Instead I feel small and so unimportant. I can't go any higher. There is just an empty sky above.
I guess that is the result of being above what you really are.
