Even though Time Magazine selected me as "Person of the Year" I am not one of the great intellectual minds of our time. I am however, smarter than your average bear, "eh boo boo!"
And while I sit here and ponder my own stupidity it occurs to me that those that would judge me are far more closed-minded and narcissistic than I.
Who, or what was it that tells everyone that THEY are the center of the universe? Was it the media (wait Time magazine told us all we were "Person of the Year") maybe that's part of it. Most advertising tells us that if we buy this car or that product we will be and have EVERYTHING we want. Maybe that's another part of it?
At any rate, it's a load of crap, yes crap. We are all equal.
Sure if Noam Chomsky or Henry Kissinger walk up to me and say "you're and idiot," well than I'll buy that, but if it's just you than I say you suck!
Remember this, the next time you deem yourself more important than the person or persons around you in the store, on the freeway, at the bank, or whatever treat them with respect. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. Than you will be treated with respect and dignity as well.
