I guess it's a question of culture and tradition.

It remotes to our ancient days.

Answer 8

I think it's the tradition and the fairy-tale images royalty inspires. Look how many tales we have that center on royalty and nobility. Look how many stories that we grew up with where the poor commoner (usually female, but not always) caught the eye of the prince (or princess) and went on to live happily ever after. Look at Snow White, or The Brave Little Tailor, or Sleeping Beauty, or Cinderella... I could list dozens more.I think many of us have deep, secret dreams of waking up one day to find ourselves wealthy, and all our past cares behind us.

Perhaps the idea of someone above you? Not to honour, but to challenge? And maybe it dates back to our animal days, with pack leaders. We're not as tightly packed as before - thank god - but it could be an old need.

Answer 12

We don't...
