Who the hell are you?
You know those people you see when you're walking around that have that look on their face. The one that says, "I know I'm better than you so fuck off." Does that drive you nuts? I know it sure drives me nuts.
What is it that makes them believe they are so much beter than the rest of us? Is it looks? Is it brains? Is it an amazing sense of humor? Maybe it's just a god give right that they can look down upon us "normal" people, and think us unworthy of their time.
I've run into many of these people, and being who I am some have thought that I was of the same mind as them. Knowing these people is not a privledge, trust me. Most of what makes them believe as they do is either ignorance or stupidity, you can be the judge of that. You know that list that I made back up there? The one that sounds rediculous? Yeah that one. Well, while they do believe those things as a whole, or individually, they also just believe that they are just better because they were lifted to those lofty heights by stupid people like us.
Hard to believe? Maybe it is at first glance, but put some thought into it and maybe you will see what I am saying.
What have we done to put these people up so that they can be idolized? Well, first we have to ask ourselves what type of people are typically like this. That's the really easy part. Most of said people are either athletes, rich or attractive. Don't belive me? Take a look at those people that are giving you that look, or attitude and tell me I'm not right.
Ok, now assuming you've decided that I may actually be right, what did we do to give them the right to treat us as lesser beings? For starters we treat athelets as if they are gods from a young age. Look at youth football leagues with their mini-cheerleaders, and parents that make it seem as if life and death hang in the ballance of a game that poor little Timmy is playing for fun. Fast forward to high school, and it's even worse. Hundreds of people show up to cheer these athletes on, and "support" their team. Now this isn't nessesarily where there attitude comes from. It comes from people giving them special deference in school. Some teachers may give them a break that they don't give others, kids in the school act like they can't speak to people that are able to command a sport in a way that they cannot. Trust me when I say that it only gets worse after high school. College for most athletes can't be seen as anything but a joke. Note that I have said most here, there are some that actually want to have a brain, but they will still recieve that special treatment that all high level athletes "deserve".
I don't even want to get started with rich people other than to say that they are mostly just born into their attitude. It is passed on either by their equally lucky parents, or the confidence of a very succesful father or mother rubs off on them, but not in a good way in most cases.
Attractive people. I think we all know why they are put up there on a pedestal, it's because most people, myself included, believe they are too attractive to think people that aren't as attractive are in the "same league". Why do we do this? It's because we are ignorant. I think you would be surprised to find out how many of those attractive people would be open to going out with what may be considered by some as "lesser" people. Now this may sound assholish, but you can just deal with the following. I find myself in the category of very attractive, and while I mostly feel I don't belong there I am there. I don't go out often, and most girls find me to be intimidatingly attractive, other peoples' words not mine. I'll go out with just about anyone, and I will be friends with everyone. Short, tall, thick, thin, attractive or ugly, I'm happy to call all friends. I've been ridiculed for having girlfriends that have not been in the same "league" as me. I don't care, it's not all about looks, you have to find the whole package. So I say this to everyone out there that has put these people up on a pedestal, take them down. Try actually aproaching them, you may just find one that hasn't been turned into an ass by the way that society has treated them.
And for all you people out there that do treat others like trash I say this:
You shall reap what you sow, karma is a bitch and yours' will come around. asshats
