There's a guy I know. He's young, a decade younger than me, and he thinks he knows more than I do. He called me arrogant. Its funny, because he treats me like I'm completely naive. Like my experience has blinded me to what his idealism makes him see so clearly. Unfortunately idealism is just another prism itself. He remind me of myself when I was his age. I was so ignorant to believe that I didn't need any type of experience to enrich me. I knew all there was to the world and what could experience do but cloud things up. I was invincible. Man was I full of myself. And here is this guy, under the same notion I was under. And he thinks that I'm the fool now. I guess he'll live and learn. I just don't like it when he talks shit about me like he's better than me when he hasn't even lived yet. I mean, when I was in my twenties, he was still in elementary school learning about fractions.

I sound like a crotchety old man. Maybe with age, I've gained some humility to admit to myself that yes, maybe I am arrogant at times. Although I wasn't trying to be arrogant when I dealt with him. And if I was, I'd rather be called on it than be talked about behind my back.
