People Are Different

I've noticed that I don't get along with people unless they are 3 things. Well mannered, well cultured, think for themselves. If they cannot attend the status of those 3 characteristics, they always tend to rub me the wrong way. When I talk to people, I talk about philosophy, I talk about politics, I talk about computers - you name it - I can take it to death, both analytically and conservatively. When people wonder why I don't get along with them, it usually comes down to they lack one of the 3 characteristics which I require people be. The other day I spoke with one chick I used to have in my math course, well anyways, she is very easy going person, very well mannered, is open-minded and has empathy, she knows how to give perspective on topics which many people seem to lack, primarily those who I seem to run into that is. The two people I know best in the world as of yet, are also two of the most mannered, Thinking individuals that I believe I will ever be great friends with. Both of whom I met on very short instances, but kept in touch with. If your reading this article you probably know who you are (Joe,Justin). The reason I write this article is because someone I have known online for a long time, I have met this dude on several occasions and he always seems to rub me the wrong way, our personalities clash. I'm not saying that he is a dick, but rather that many of our defining characteristics are very similar in that we both have superiority complexes. Think of Napoleon the Great, that little short prick thought he was better than everyone else because intellectually he was in many respects; however, he lacked a lot of what caused his demise. The ability to give perspective on situations which he was placed in, also the ability of empathy to understand the feelings of other people. To be continued . . .
