Titles can be tricky.
They say who you are supposed to be—a father, a mother a son, a daughter, a priest, a teacher, a student, a leader, a follower, a murder, a saint, a good guy, a villain, a loser, winner, a god, a shadow.
But they are just labels.
To demand the respect of a title, one must act as such. And to act as such, one most not just state their title given, but hold the skill sets, histories, consequences, actions, and traits within themselves as a person who carries that very title.
Otherwise, are a merely an actor incapable of being who you truly are mean to be.
A title is merely a word, not a state of being.
