Vanity, all is vanity
Where do we get the badges? How does one go about getting issued such a large portion of self-absorption? Why does your experience, albeit totally unrelated to mine, somehow take precedent over my own? Why is it that so many think that by cloistering themselves in a school or profession, they are able to tell me how to do my job?
I swear, if one more attorney, professor, psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist or self-proclaimed "College Graduate" tells me how to do my job, or how my business runs based on the sum total of the experiences of their avocation or supposed education; I may spend a long time in jail.
Why do certain professions seem to have such a universally dim view of others experience or knowledge? What is it that gives them carte blanche to denigrate my knowledge, my experience and my education, while expecting me to hold theirs in the highest esteem. Why should I believe what they say when it flies in the face of all reason and experience, except of course, to them?
These are the same ones who demand preferential treatment of their needs to the exclusion of others. Apparently whatever they are doing is so important that everyone else must just step aside and let the elect come through. Have these people no connection to reality? Is the educational process so self deluding that these people really do think they are above all others?
I have had just one too many people tell me things that are in direct contradiction to the observable reality around us, yet who expect me to believe them above what we can both plainly see.
I suppose the bottom line is, if you are going to pay me to do a job, don't get upset at me simply because you don't understand what it is I do, or how it is done. Further, don't insult me, impugn my knowledge or intelligence, or denigrate my work simply out of your ignorance. To do otherwise is to show yourself no less than an incompetent ass.
Its almost too much for one lowly, uneducated, obviously misinformed, woefully ignorant person to comprehend.
