One thing I have never believed in is that a certain group of people are better than the rest. Therefore, one of my pet peeves is seeing someone who has a bit, or a lot, more money than another person treat them as if they are of lower class or significance to this world. What gives someone that right? What gives them the idea that just because there are hundred dollar bills in their pocket that they can demean someone else because they have twenties?
Let me tell you, in my job I have met some of the most interesting people that I have ever met. Some of them would put the "social elite" to shame with their intelligence and business potential. Granted, they may waste it on criminal endeavors, but still that sense is there. I remember a quote from Albert Einstein that says, “I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.” That quote means a lot because that is how we are supposed to live.
I guess this is one of my soap boxes again because of stuff that I see from day to day. However, it is still true. No one deserves belittling remarks or unfair treatment because of assumptions! Not to mention, some of the people that think they are the smartest in this world are truly the most ignorant! How great it is to see the mighty fall!
