So I asked this my instructor of a lawyer why judges are referred to as "Lords" and "Worships," and he said: "we represent God on Earth." Whether he was kidding me or not, I couldn't tell but my opinion is, except by sanctifying grace, no honourific prefix can elevate a natural human being beyond regular.
To me, the only thing that resembles a representative of God on this planet is 'TIME.' Time as in consequence, as the master, and the thing of essence; time that changes things, reveals true colours, renders grief finite and brings forth new beginnings; time that reminds you of how real your struggle was; time that heals wounds and gives hope, and time as in 'Surah Al Asr' (The Declining Day, The Time).
