Delusions of Grandeur …

Don’t we all know that person who thinks that they are better then everyone else or that they are just the top dog when everyone else knows that they are not?
Ever think that someone has something like Napoleon syndrome?
Ever think that the people sitting next to you are idiots as you listen in on their conversation?
We have all had the boss, who got the job only God knows how, who in fact doesn’t know a thing about what any of us do, but is sure that his way is the best way.
Isn’t it strange how we all look at them and think that we are better or that we could do the job O’ so much better …
My point, we all look down on people.
If you say that you don’t you are a liar and you know it.
No, really if you think that you don’t you are just stupid!
You might not think it but that janitor might have the answer to the problems you have.
That crazy cousin Pat of yours might not have a clue about this and that normally but that one time she might just be the apple you were looking for.
We all look at things differently and a collage degree does not make you any smarter then the next guy, just a little more educated.
Then again, haven’t we all been in a place were we realize we don’t fit in and people take note, or when we say something that seems brilliant to us and everyone just blows us off because it’s a dumb ideal to them?
Don’t we all know in some way or another how bad it feels to be looked down a pone?

The world is 3 dimensional for a reason … OK it has more but we aren’t getting into all of that …
As you look at one side of an item and I look at another we see two different things.
This also goes along with upbringing and the paths our lives have taken us.
That doesn’t mean that the Farmer can come in and do the accounting job just as quickly or as easily, or that the accountant can come out and work a field as easily as the farmer.
Knowledge in your fiend and education do help but that doesn’t mean that the new guy or the guy down the hall can’t be of help.
At the end of the day don’t we all need the other people around us no matter what there job is?
Another thing is that at anytime we can change places with the person next to us and be in their shoes, so watch your step.
There is an old saying about being nice on your way up because you never know who you will meet on your way back down.

When and how did Humility get lost to the world?
Who gave us the right to judge another anyway?
Also, for those of you who think that you are better then another, I will gladly point out another who is better then you.
Who are we to look down our noses at another and talk badly about them behind there back … you know you do it behind them because you know it’s wrong in your heart and there for will not stand up and say it to there faces.
Saying ‘I don’t normally bad mouth anyone, but …’ doesn’t make it better either!
I am not sure of the recipe for Humble Pie, mind you I could use some myself some times … OK a lot of the time … OK shut up about it already, but I think that most all of us could use at least one slice.
Some people need a bakery full of it I think though …
So, next time you are pointing out the people next to you at dinner and making fun of them sit back and think … Are the people on the other side of you thinking the same thing about you and making fun of you?
We could all use a reminder once and a while that no one is above another, and that in fact we all need to wash each others feet a little more often.
Epically you hypocritical Christians …

What do you mean: people might be making fun of me?!?!?! An old woman with big, red hair; too much jewelry; wobbling around in high heels? What's funny about that? Hmmm And, by the way, I got my job the good old fashioned way: I sucked up like a crazy woman - isn't that the way it works? Seriously (and this hurts my brain so I hope you're happy!), you make excellent points and we all need to reevaluate ourselves and our motives. It's all because we're all, basically, insecure, you know. If we're tearing someone else down, we're hoping our own faults and blemishes aren't being noticed. It's a giant game of "don't spend too much time trying to understand me . . . I'm more flawed than I want you to know." Sad, isn't it?

I'm too perfect to be made fun of, so I have no worries.

And I pay Asian ladies to wash my feet. So there.
