Elevation
I don't think I can consider myself as better than anyone... but there are things and types of people I can't help but looking down on. I don't think that's arrogance, I think it's just... Well, I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's so peculiar either.
The thing is, I think that most people judge and dislike in others that they would dislike and try to fix within themselves. Same goes for me. The kind of people I dislike are the ones who have the same flaws...
People who deceive others, people who waste their opportunities, people who pretend to be better than they really are. People who don't really work hard and then complain they failed. Or people who give up before even trying.
I'm not trying to put myself down by writing these things, but I think a lot of those elements apply or applied to me to a certain extend, even though I am kinda embarrassed to admit it.
And thus, I can't stand looking at others' mediocrity, just because it reminds me of my own.
As much as I act arrogant and self complacent, I don't think that's who I really am. But it makes it so much easier to make people believe that's what I am... Makes it easier to filter through the people who stick by me for my image and those who stick by me for who I truly am....
And in the end, I feel like... Acting as if I am above all this might eventually elevate me?

Acting as your above by looking down on others is not the way to attain elevation... I can tell you this much... Being self-confident is ok being arrogant is not. Because you go higher when others bring you up than when you step down on others...
I don't know who you are, but I think you've totally misunderstood what I wrote. The point was not to be arrogant by looking down on others, but rather that when you dislike something within someone, it's that you dislike something within yourself.
plus I did mention that I acted arrogant and that I hoped people would see through that... which you apparently don't.
I might have misunderstood your point but you did write that when you disliked others you tend to look down on them which motivated the comment above... all I said was that being self-confident was ok while being arrogant was not, even when you only pretend to be it and hope that someone will see through that...never implied anything else.After that, you are free to do as please. And I haven't place a judgement on you, just gave you a piece of thought. But anyway this is internet so basta...
i think its my bad english that was the problem, i didnt mean literally look down on in the entry, but then i took your 'look down' negatively which is kinda of a ridiculous misunderstanding.. i should start writing in French instead...
but thanks for the comment.
