In a world of gossip, torture, popularity, vanity, and lies, is it better to be the ruler of superficiality, or to be one of the many solemn outcasts?
In this world we see both, heaven and hell come together under one roof and one name.Highschool.
It comes down to one person, or anyone really to believe that once entering the place you most dread, yet love, that it is in fact better to reign in hell than it is to serve in heaven.
In this case hell would be the “queen bee”, while heaven would be the simple “drones”, not having to worry about their throne being replaced.
The less admired don’t have the need to always strive for perfection. They don’t have to stress over how they look or act because they aren’t exactly role models and usually go unnoticed. You may think that it would be an ideal life, since, as long as you don’t oppose the overruling power; you really don’t have to worry about anything. But all these are just servants near the very bottom of the hierarchy. All they do is look up to others who are only people just the same. So, while leading relatively peaceful and quite satisfactory lives, the “drones”, do not have the same privileges as those who they look up to.
The absolute leader and all her royal subjects have it best, at least under the fake fluorescent lights and in the eyes of those who are part of it. To worry about one’s name, financial and social standing, deep dark secrets, style, and outer shell, doesn’t cast a shadow over being the one who everyone wants to be like. It is only a slight personal drawback which is, with slight difficulty, hidden from the rest. Aside from that you still have the power over almost everyone and don’t have to try and be nice about how you act. The world is a harsh place and the ability to become the “queen” of a small society is hard to achieve, which gives the complete right to anyone in that position, to be as nasty as they please. And unless another “royal” ruins her reputation, all hail her majesty, the Queen.
It doesn’t matter how nice you are or who you are trying to be. The best thing is to always strive to be the best at everything, even if it means ruling on the dark side, rather than being just another servant on the good. It might be satisfying to know you are doing something good, or rather nothing wrong, but when you look at it from the side lines you are just another person amongst the crowd. That is, if you want to stand out from the rest, what could be better than to just rule over them all while you’re at it. And if it means being looked upon as the “bad side”, so be it.

You're right, being in heaven doesn't sell. Being in hell sells like mad. However, that's the same idea behind your previous post, and the post before that. Most obvious with the previous one than the one from before.
Being the top of all is the best thing to achieve, but the real quesiton is not whether to be at the top or not, it's what you do at the top the truly reveals the importance and value of being at the top.
Sure, being nasty is an option, but being at the top also means you have to be nice. Why? Very simple, being being at the top is hard to start with. Tha'ts why you want to be at the top. Because it's challenging and you get to get what you want however you want it. Now, take a look at it this way.
Being at the top is hard, therefore we be nasty. Then being at the top and be nice would be even harder, since in your premises it's an extreme contrast...almost like it's impossible to be nice when you're serving in complete harmony. True, I believe with stress comes ...well, stressful reactions and behaviours XD but take obama for example, he's even higher up than most people will ever dream of, but his face constantly remains a smile of hope. Maybe one day it will fade with despair or maybe he'll just grow old and tired of theway people destroy themselves by approaching for success or to be at the top. Nonetheless, the passion and compassion will constantly live through his perception.
Getting everything you want means present happiness but it ALWAYS leads to one missing out on a lesson somewhere. Maybe always suffering at the bottom may make one's life appear pointless but pattern has shown that people who suffers the most feel and treasure life's spec existance the most. More than those who reign whenever they desire.
Simply put, it's just a balance. When you're at the bottom be nasty, when you're at the top be nice. Sometimes be nasty and nice and BOOM! there's no left wing or right wing, there's only one of you, being who you want to be sitting at a social status position you convince yourself and those around you where you stand. =)
...of course...to me, you'll always be a very , VERY special princess, best friend, fling...deep admirer for life. So, no matter where you are, be a you that you can enjoy being for life nasty AND nice =p hehe sexy. Then one day when we're old and reallize heaven or hell it doesn't really matter -,-...it'd always bring tears of bless to my soul that I met you out of the world's impossibilities. (definitely beats lotto winning for 46 million bucks. And you know how much I need the money now ;p)
