Do you look down on people?

    You should reach for higher causes. Such things should be beneath you.

    Don't worry, you're not balding. You're just too tall for your hair

    There are some people that I look at and think they're better than me, better life, better looks, better job, more intelligent.....

    Then there are those that I look down on, not based on physical appearance but on intelligence/education, behavior, how they were raised or are raising their own family......

    I think it's natural for us to compare ourselves to others.

    Sorry, I forgot to clarify, I meant with hair and a full set of teeth. :pac:

    conceit.

    people aren't better or worse they're just different.

    Einstein said "Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid."

    So its all down to the circumstances we face really; thats why we've evolved the way we have, if tomorrow we all had to live underground then short people are going to be at a great advantage, people with dwarfism will be kings among men, and people in wheelchairs ... well they'll still just be getting in the way.

    I'm 6' 2" in my bare feet so I tend to be able to look down on people from a physical point of view. I find myself drawn to other intelligent, generous and perceptive people, so no looking up or down required. I cannot abide petty jealousy and resentment. I'll therefore silently judge endlessly negative people.

    Jasus, you've shot up in your later years. Next you'll be saying you're no longer spindly. Fair play.

    I look down on people who chart their every move on fb like anyone gives a fck, tonight for example a 'friend' posted she was going to lidl to buy some drink, she then posted picture of said drink an hour later (smirnoff ice), she then proceeded to post a few selfies with her tongue out, with shades on ye know all the classics, she then uploaded videos of her and her friend singing karaoke using the bottles as a mic (classic) more selfies, more videos and on and on, I wonder how she had time to post on fb when she was having such good craic.

    Edit the most annoying part was when her and her friend were then chatting to each other via fb from the same room.

    I'm alright with looking right at you. You're easy on the eye. ;)

    I know, it's almost sadistic.

    Masochistic, I believe.

    No. However, I may place my parchments carefully one-side to peer disapprovingly over my bifocals at an oaf, ne'er-do-well, urchin or footpad, mark you.
