Simplified Meaning:
When people believe they are naturally meant to be in charge and that others should always follow their orders, they start to act rude and disrespectful. Imagine a boss who thinks he's better than his employees just because he's in charge. Over time, he might stop listening to others and make unfair decisions because he feels too important. History knows many examples where kings or leaders thought they had the right to rule without question, which often led to them being overbearing and ignoring the needs of their people. For anyone, it's a good reminder to stay humble and respect others, no matter what position they hold. Treating everyone with fairness and listening to different opinions helps create a better, kinder environment.
