who is that guy (pardon the gender type)?
the one we collectively loath and deride in equal measure, for being so "full of himself".
he's the winner, the leader, the one who is perpetually setting the precedent. and he knows exactly where he stands. top of the heap. though we do not admit it, we know he has every right to be "full of himself".
and secretly, we wonder if that's what we're aspiring to be. if that's what it takes to be "da man" (again, pardon the gender type) in life today. shuddering, we brush that thought aside, thanking our stars that, while we may not have seen success spelt out yet, atleast we're not loathed and derided by all.
but what about that guy? does he rationalise his unpopularity on the assumption of mass jealousy, or of "the inability of people to accept those ahead of their time"? or does he simply not notice?
because there are things about myself, for instance, that i never notice. they're quite insignificant and completely irrelevant in my opinion, but i guess they might stick out like a sore thumb for others. maybe i am truly loathed and derided by all. and completely oblivious of it.
isn't it unfortunate then, that we write off these generally unpopular people, while at the same time, we continue to be written off ourselves?
isn't it unfortunate, that as we get older, and apparently wiser, our opinions get more and more rigid, when all forces of logic point towards a single, inalienable truth? - there isn't any. truth.
