The clock's ticking

As time passes, we go on inevitably unconscious of the events around us. It is part of human nature to evoke oneself deeply into our own interests rather than holding a broad perspective of the events in others' lives. As a result, we create narrow spectrums of thoughts and ideals. Not only do we use this set of ideals for ourselves, but to create expectations for those around us. These expectations are imposed upon our judgement of others, creating a measure of adequacy. In most cases, we become adept in finding that people do not measure to our expectations.  Through such, people create an air of arrogance and narcism for themselves. Vicariously, we get the notion that because others have not lived up to our ideals, they are simply not worthy of our concern. This demeanor not only causes a great distance between ourselves and social activity, but also ourselves and the truth. Although in many senses, this superiority complex does have a reasonable origin; it is blown much out of proportion. The fact that a person might have not been able to get an overachieving score on a test of skill as you would like, does not mean that they are beneath you. As preposterous as that may sound, we, all people, have done that before in our lives.  Such superiority complexes, as much as they might seem, are not of your fault; they are a product of your own mind. The trick is to grow up and realize the consequences of your actions, and take charge.
