It is, because we say it is...

Please note, it is a certain way, because they say it is.

If somebody is above you, it is because they are better than you at whatever it is they do. You do not need to know any details about what they do, because it is simply beyond your pay grade & therefore your intellect to understand these higher things.

Also understand that those who are placed over you are liable to cause you discomfort if you refuse to consent to their rule & comply with their orders. This is because they have power over you.
