No, I am not referring to the arguments that take place in school gym lockers. I am talking about buildings, those monstrosities of steel and glass that determine the prestige of a city. One city may boast about having the tallest building only to be outdone a short while later by another city. The Burj Dubai towers are currently the worlds tallest at over 1,700 feet. Most of it is, and will remain vacant. This attempt to continually build ever taller structures with limited intrinsic value is similar to human pride. It is empty, vacant of any real substance. It is temporary, it's enemy "time" quickly dismantles it. It is embarrassing, because it eventually crashes like the fragile humans who exhibit it.
