Am I Alone?

I have, for as long as I can remember, despised arrogant people. Truly, deeply despised them; almost to the point of getting physically ill when I am around some of them. I have much improved on this front as I’ve matured, but every so often I meet a particularly conceited person and it takes incredible will-power not to…well…pimp-slap the bitch (which I use in a non-gender specific way, although in the interests of transparency, I should note that my archetypal arrogant is a former, female co-worker).

I don’t think I am alone in feeling this way, but I’ve met no one who truly shares my distaste…even partially. Sure, plenty of people agree that smug people are annoying or declare that smugness is an unbecoming trait, but they do not seem terribly bothered by it.

But I believe human arrogance is the single biggest problem facing the world.

Am I really alone in feeling and thinking this? Is there any truth to my belief?

I do feel alone in this respect, but I (humbly) submit that my belief is well-founded. And I look forward to exploring this idea and many other related ones in the days, weeks, months, and years (!?) ahead.
