The Degrees of Snobbery

Whether we like to accept it or not, we all have a degree of snobbery. That degree can change from day to day, or situation to situation. Perhaps one day we are going to work at our okay, or maybe amazing job. We look unseemingly at someone and say how can that person be working that menial job, or be happy on a junk food diet.

Then upon realizing the thought went through our head and being upset with ourself, we console ourself by being charitible, partially because we should, but perhaps to remove that twinge of self guilt or anger that we had for having the feeling in the first place.

Then karma being the ugly little creature it can be sometimes, we find ourself in the frigid cold waiting for a bus, because our car has suddenly gone down. Of course we are completely underserving of this happenstance, because how can this happen to the hardworking, above reproach individual that we are. We then go into the monthly office meeting, and find that we have been downsized due to the company budget. To comfort ourselves we have that quartepounder or oreo, we havent had in a year. This is one of the ways the degree of snobbery can change.

Then here we are waiting in the cold for a bus and seeing that same look of disapproval in the eye of the driver of a passing car, knowing that look, because we've had it before, but we are now on the opposite side of the rearview mirror. No-one is perfect, that is why we are allotted the word human. It is important that we remind ourself what is on the opposite side of the rearview mirror. Signed reflections of a human.
