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.
