Set The Fire To The Third Bar.

I despise people who insult and look down on others in vilification without reflecting on their own faults and flaws. They think they’re cool. They think they’re king of the world. They think they’re so much better than the rest. And what is worse, they even dare think they’re God! Seriously, shut the fuck up! Every once in awhile, I come across this kind of no shame self-proclaimed hot shots. It’s fucking annoying and it pisses me off at all times, they have no right thinking so lowly of other individuals. I’m not noble, and I certainly am not better than anyone else, I’m simply stating the obvious as well as to voice out my dissatisfaction for such self-aggrandizing imbeciles.

We all have to take the shit that life has to throw at us, some take it easy, and some don’t. However, it doesn’t mean that the ones who take it easy should step on the heads of those who don’t. It’s not fair to those who don’t get to indulge in the joys of life. I’ve always believed that strong ones exist to help the weak. That’s how I see it, that’s the way it should be. People who think they’re smarter and much more better off than the rest should not feel superior and pick on the less fortunate ones, what more insult them. Calling someone stupid, useless, dumb or anything along that line just because they’re not doing well in whatever they do is totally unacceptable and uncalled for. It disgusts me. It’s plain wrong. Stigmatized individuals, social misfits, the ones who always ends up taking the last place in class, the not-so-well-off lower-class, less fortunate ones with inborn deformities, they too deserve some degree of respect, they too deserve some dignity of their own. No one should undermine their value to the society in any way.

If you think you’re so fucking great, prove it. Prove it by helping others who are less equipped with the tools to embark on the tough journey of life and not be so full of yourself while poking fun at others for their shortcomings. How would you feel if you were in their shoes, the ones whom you’ve initially poke fun at? In this world, they are 3 types of people, people who are great and know that they are great but still have respect for others, people who are not great but think that they are the greatest by undermining the rest of the world revolving around them, and finally the third type, people who would admit that they’re not great but at least they try to be someone, or something without forgetting who they really are and where they come from. Ask yourself this, which type are you?

I’m not against people who blow their own horns just because they think that they’re somewhat distinctively influential figures in their own universe when clearly in reality, they’re not. Being arrogant with an excuse to do so, along with prove of some measure of greatness achieved in an appropriately stipulated period of time to go with it is one thing, but being boastful with little accomplishments (in a relatively short period of time) or none at all is another, and it doesn’t earn that particular person any bragging rights as opposed to someone who has actually done something significant. I dislike the latter because when their world comes crumbling down on them, they blame everyone else except themselves, expecting others to be at their feet to offer sympathy and to come to their aid after all that they’ve said and done.

If you command respect from your peers, you should first learn to earn their respect. Never take things in life for granted, your family, your friends, and your loved ones. Taking advantage and making use of other people to attain your goals in life is distasteful and utterly repugnant. Doing something like that would only damage your reputation for good in addition to discarding whatever credibilility you have left. No one would want to do your bidding. No one would want to trust you. And no one would wish to be around you, what more be your friend. In the end, you’ll be alone in your own world and all you can do is to blame yourself.
