Wrong-o.  Reverence takes many forms - it need not include establishing who
is "greater" and who is "inferior" anymore.  Many people of today have
trancended that type of thinking - as one begins to recognize their own
potential and their ONENESS will all, reverence for EVERYTHING grows.  The
lines that separate us disappear - and, when one looks at life from that
perspective, one understands that reverence and love can enter EVERYWHERE;
reverence is not something simply 'set aside' for certain individuals.  One
is practicing reverence when praying or planting a tree. . .it is simply a
matter of how one perceives the world.
